Figure on the IX will probably be released as a 2008 model in late 2007. I would never even consider purchasing a car that was in the first year of a "remodel," because there are going to be bugs that need to be worked out. That's going to give you at least 2 years to enjoy your car. At that point, there will probably be a better idea of what the Evo's redesign is going to actually look like. Someone else mentioned what happened to BMW, and he makes a very valid point.
If you're not sure which car you want, the Evo IX or the STi, then I guess you'll just have to punish yourself, and drive both.
Boo hoo. 
I also agree with Blonde. Get a car, and enjoy it. In other words, "sh*t or get off the pot."

This is off topic, but this is the 2nd thread I've seen you type, "Don't flame me please" in. What's up with that? Why would I want to flame you?

thanks guys keep the feedback coming. im 30 years old and a father of two. i used to be into imports as far back as i can remember, but for the last 4 years ive been out of the seen and into jeeping and offroading with my lifted cherokee. which i plan on keeping, but i need something safer for the kids and at the other end of the spectrum compared to the jeep.
