You can just cut and paste the image URL into a new browser window. I'm viewing the article right now.

Hrm,.. kind of a crap article from an author that's obviously spoiled by his over exposure to cars. He calls the VIII a shadow of it's former greatness simply because it isn't greatly improved over the VII, yet he still says it's the best thing this side of a 911 turbo!

Quote from the article:
Dash design of new Evo barely changed from the old car's - but it's still more stylish than the STi's

Even with those links, you have to copy and paste before it works.

Look everybody, that site doesn't allow link ups. So this is what you do: Just right click each of those green things in the first post, and click properties, then copy that URL, and Paste it into your Browser. Do that to each article. That should help you guys out.

I read the article and, well, I am dissapointed with the Evolution VIII . Maybe it is just the way the article was written, but it is bit slow in a straight line compared to previous Evolutions and even the US spec with less power and torque is susposed to accelerate that fast. I had read of a 0-100km/h of 5 seconds (or very close to it) not 0-96km/h (0-60mph) in 5.2? And when the STI's time is 4.6? I know the STI has more power and more torque but 300bhp vs 276bhp and the Evolution is known to have more the rated, 0.8 sec is a long time and 2 sec to 100mph. Maybe I am just used to the Evolution being the faster car.
