ok I absolutely hated the 08 sti until last week when I saw the white one at mastro. I still dont like it that much, but the front end and interior are sick. The intercooler fails without sti painted on it, but at least the sti doesnt have the plastic manifold bullshit.
As for the new evo, yuck. I've been next to it, sat inside it, everything but driven it, and I hate it. I'd take my buddies evo 8 (or any evo 9) anyday before even looking at the X. Of course I havent driven it, but asthetically it brings shame to the name of evos everywhere IMO. Not to mention the MR's tranny is going to be a nightmare for ECU tuning as of right now. The only thing about the new evo I like is the yaw control.
By what do I care- I'm a subaru man anyways.
