That isn't a US-spec Evo, so it probably has the AYC that US cars lack. So, since that was a handling comparison, I'd say it's not valid for the US.

The US Evo was Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year once.

NVM yeah the Evo should have won that one, I would have expected the Elise to get that though.

-The Topgear episode of the Holden Manaro...further into the episode they test it against an evo and without even launching the evo completely destroys the i believe LS2 (400hp) beast. For those that dont know the manaro is the Pontiac GTO

-Top Gear episode Evo 8 MR FQ320 vs UK Spec Subaru STi WR1

-Top Gear episode Evo 8 MR FQ400 VS Lambo Murc

-SCC shootout where the HKS evo won, beat forcefed turbo lotuses n such

-Evo VS WRX shootouts

Pretty much every head to head comparison against the STi/STI the EVO comes out on tops.

A lot of the comparisons for the EVO are against cars that are two to three times more expensive, so it's tough. But my favorite had to be when Road and Track pitted the EVO VIII against the champion dirt bike in a race in the desert and the EVO won!
