Anyone know if the IX is outselling the 06 STI?

I've noticed Subie pushing the STI a lot more in ads. For instance, the one page ad in MotorTrend I've seen in the last 3 issues. There is basically no advertising for the evo that is paid for by Mitsu.

LOL!
They do not make it easy with the lack of advertising across the board, but yes, you are right. No advertising!

through dec 2005, subaru has produced a total of about 100K cars for north america versus 74k for mitsu. it's hard to find public data on any one model in particular, but evos and stis represent only a tiny fraction of sales for these companies.
p.s. for comparison, GM has built almost 4 MILLION cars this year for NA.
here's a table of "light vehicle sales": http://images.wardsauto.com/files/10...ummary0511.xls
subaru has sold about 176K cars this year vs. 115K for mitsu.

evo9's are selling more than STI's since people don't approve of the Alfa Romeo styling OR now having 2 spoilers (yes 2)...the EVO 9 is almost $3k higher than the subie so this year the STI is the better bargain pricewise. it is still an inferior motor to the 4G63 since the rear mounted turbo tends to melt down cylinder 3 when you had power to it...

Twinevo,
In Japan there is a considerable amount of advertising for the Evo IX. I was just there and many car magazines had full page ads on the back cover (outside).
Obviously this won't affect American sales, though. But it seems to me that Americans are more concerned with the stock HP number than anything else. And the STi beats the EVO there.
But hey, I own a IX MR, so you know MY choice.
