Evos everywhere

It's a shame that the Evo won't be limited. In the chicago area, I'm seeing them everywhere. Blue, yellow, black, silver. Yet to see a red one. I've seen them on the streets and on I-294. So far, they've all been doing the speed limit - I have not seen one in action yet. The blue looks weird. Silver or black is certainly the right color for the EVO. Maybe even red but I personally dislike red. Blue makes the angles look weird. It is a nice shade of blue though.

i have not seen even 1 other Evo driving on the road. I now have 2500 miles on mine.

You pissed about buying the Cobra mike? I think if I was limited to just 1 car, the Evo would be the easy winner vs the Cobra. Cobra is fun here and there, but certainly not the daily driver winner.

Must be the area, b/c I've only seen three Evos over the last few months, and I personally know two of the owners

I've travelled for work quite a bit too. I don't think they're 'common' at all, maybe not necessarily rare, but few and far between on the roads.

Im gonna say it must be the area too. I've only seen two Evo's in the wild since thier release, one was a silver evo cruisin down the streets of NYC on my way to the ny auto show, the other was the disgustingly filthy yellow one I saw parked in the best buy parking lot. There is suppossedly a phantom blue one around my area too. havent seen it myself though. I did see my first sti this past weekend too.

Saw a silver Evo in Marietta on the 120 loop a week or so ago. Also saw a silver Evo parked here at Lockheed a month ago. Very close to when they came out. I was suprised to see one so soon back then....

Most dealers here have at least 2 Evos in stock. Some dealers have more like 5 in stock and ready to go.
