I can't believe your whining over the INTERIOR of the evo. Ask any damn evo owner if they give 2 pennies about the interior! Once your start making actual power from basic cheap bolt ons you start to realize what really matters in an evo... So if your saying that the Evo > STi in handling and mods then lol I guess subaru failed?
Hasn't anyone taken a REAL test drive? Like around some twisties? All this crap about "ZOMG INTERIOR IZ FAIL" and "OLD DSM TEH BETTTAR!!1" is really disappointing coming from you guys...

Don't let the guy who just bought a car that has a built-in CF Card reader see your nonsensical post.

I'm sure the new Evo is a nice car but the looks of it is odd, I know that it was never a really good looking car but the new nose looks like a snout. It's body lines kinda follow that of a Peugeot.
Nothing against you kaiser just my .02
On a positive note I do like the GTR type front, and it's a fast well handling sports car that won't break your wallet.

Dude I'd take an STI over an EVO any day. And Yes the interior is a big factor with me. I'm not at a track everyday clocking my quarter miles and **** like that so spending more than what i paid for on the car on modding isn't the reality hence the EVO is a bucket of **** to me. The only thing I would initially be drawn to the evo when buying a acar would possibly be the handling......other than that......FAIL. Not to mention the boxer motor of the STI will last a couple decades longer than the 4g.
Shinkteen, just stop ok? You sound like a little kid who's just hating for attention. I see you live in San Diego, why dont you stop by Orange County sometime and I'll show you what "AWD ****" is.

If you care about interior so much over performance then why would you be looking at the STi or the Evo in the first place? Stock for Stock the MR has a better interior than the STi too.. Leather seats + Leather Recaros, Touch screen Navi/DVD, a DSG gearbox, better sound system etc.. lol? The 4g is a PROVEN engine, if your saying the boxer is stronger than the 4g, the rest of the world is laughing at you.
The 4G is proven as opposed to what? A VTEC? The life of a boxer motor trumps the **** out of a 4g. It's factual, deal with it. And umm on the interior, lol, The STI has some sick interior. Like I've said 597 times though, The interior of the Evo RS and whatever that other model is is pure $HIT other than the recaro seats. And Ya the MR bumps up the quality slightly, but the MR also costs alot more than the other models. So WHO the fu** in their right mind would spend almost $10,000 more for an MR with decent interior and the 6spMT when you can get an STI with better interior, the 6speed, and a machine that stock for stock will rape an EVO? Not I says the fly.

What is "sick" interior? Blue suede seats and civic quality dashboard?
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS is from the previous generation, the 8 and 9. Its the STRIPPED version, the RS is the lightest and comes with a strong 5spd. The MR of the Evolution X does not cost "10k" more, it costs 3.5k more at Southcoast Mitsubishi. That is ON PAR with the STi price for better overall quality and speed/handling
The new Evo X MR uses a very applauded 6speed DSG transmission, the previous gen MR's also used a MT 6spd. There is no real benefit to having a 6spd besides cruising on highways, its been proven that the 5spd is stronger (For the evo's). Stock for stock it's well documented the Evo > Sti. Almost ALL magazines and auto enthusiasts have said that countless times. Stop spewing BS and garbage just because I hurt your scooby fanboy pride. MOD for MOD the Evo >STi.
Thanks for trying. /thread

and i have my reason, if you dont wanna send me a msg and know the reason thats fine with me, think what you want.
i stand by AWD cars are ridiculous . maybe "Trash" was a bit to harsh possibly from my own bitterness, from my mountain runs its frustrating how someone only has to step on the gas and go to be able to match someone with much more
"skill" if i may in a FR or FF car.
i know i may get some "race hate" for my comment. buttt ehhh w/e.

LOL Look at this guy talk out of his ***. Hey why don't you drop by nasioc and ask the Subaru guys if the 4g is a pos ... I can't believe I'm hearing this. Besides, if you knew anything about Evo's you'd know that the Evo X uses the new 4b11t

How am I talking out of my ***? And I'm referring to all models before the latest EVO and STI models. Those are still fairly new and I don't know much about them cause when I was in the market I had nowhere near enough to even consider an '08 STI or EVO therefore I had no motive to research them. But I did some extensive research on '03-'06 EVOs and STIs. And who TF said there was any benefit to a 6spd (even though there is)? I simply said that's one of the few things u pay extra$ for with an MR, nothing else. Who's spewing BS again? And what's with the last "Mod for Mod the EVO> STI" ? Did I not acknowledge that the EVO is much more ideal for modding? LOL, You're officially a fu**tard, delete yourself.

So your admitting the MR > STi in every possible way? Because pricing isnt that big of a difference (Mitsu dealer selling em at invoice). You admitted that you had no motive to research either cars so your knowledge of them is lacking...
You and Shinkateen should hookup.

You've convinced me, my old WRX was stupid because it had too much traction. Who the hell would want that?

I'd personally rather have the STI. I haven't seen any video comparisons of where the new Evo actually trumps the new STI in a race. Now mind you, most of those people are professional drivers and live their life at the limits, behind a wheel.
