Especially FIA! America is more focused on NASCAR
not what class the Evo falls under!

i'd pick the Evo outta all the choices.

i will not ever sell my Evo (unless the X just blows my mind away...doubt it), but i've been seriously thinking about adding either a c5z or clean Supra TT to my garage, along with the Evo. can't live without the Evo, cuz it does everything so well (acceleration, handling, potential for tuning, practicality)

Your right also if you look at it that way. When I'm asked I always describe my car as a "Turbo Charged, AWD, 4 door, rally car". I couldn't say that accurately if I had an US STI or 06 WRX.

I wouldn't say that to anyone because it sounds incredibly gay.

Ya, you're right on there. I tell people, and if they don't know, I just ignore them and walk away. If they don't already know about the car, nothing I could possibly say could convey the 'EVO-ness' to them. They'll dismiss it as a Mitsu or just say 'ok, sounds good'. Real car enthusiasts know all about this car and fear it!!

I tell those who ask that it's a street legal rally car. If they don't look excited, that's where it ends.
