I don't understand how all the EVO-lovers out there get so bent out of shape when everyone goes on and on about how good the performance is, but they don't like the wrapper. If looks matter so little to the EVO owner, why do they even care what anyone else thinks?
I for one dont care much for other people's opinions, but truth be told, I'd prefer not to be laughed at by my friends because my car looks like I drove it off the set of the fast and the furious. For me the 8 was about a trade-off of performance for luxary and looks. That would be why I didn't buy a Cobra.

They couldn't do that if a market didn't exist filled with people who know exactly what they want to improve their cars. A Quaiffe ATBD mated to a 3.45 final gear? Oh yeah, gimme some of that.

Ones again, I'm not saying every BMW owner, but most. I personally would love to have the new M5 with V10 power inspired by Williams BMW F1 car (FW26).

For every BMW with Dinan and AC Schnitzer stuff on it, I'll show you two BMWs with AC Scnitzer and Dinan badges that have no or very few parts from that tuner. I raced one of these tools a couple weeks ago, and they seem to think a Dinan badge makes them fast.

Ricer mentality is not confimed to japanese imports, let alone all imports. How many cars have you seen with badges or stickers for products the car doesn't have?

Take off the wing and the Lancer Evo looks like an average car.

As for taking the wing off, that's half the battle, and admittadly (sp) the one of the main reasons that kept me out of a mits dealership when I was shopping the 8. (other reasons included the fact that it was a mits, the interior felt cheap, there was a substantial markup at the time, and lord knows what my insurance would do).
Ike, you'll be happy to know that the WRX (STi wasn't released yet) made my short list but in the end it was the interior that I couldn't get over - for a daily driver that I might have to keep for a long time, I'd like it to start off with better quality (perceived or otherwise). It's not that I hate these cars, but Subaru managed to make their rally car (an idea that I think is pretty cool in the first place) pretty good looking, while I think that mits laid an egg.

The interior on the WRX and EVO is nothing flashy, it's simple and functional. I know what you're saying about the EVO, I didn't like it much when it first came out either. I think the OZ Ralliart thing was the biggest reason for that, it placed a stigma on that car for me, but I've gotten over it :p

just a suggestion: check out EVO V, its the best of the best in it's generation so far. and EVO , STi are more than just a typical muscle cars. EVO and STi arent built for luxury; they are purely perfromance cars. btw, the Subaru Legacy B4 STi is all-rounded.
