There are many more EVO's sold...the STi being in the 30k+ price range will stop many buyers of that car.

Do u have basis for this? I can understand the $30K price will keep buyers from buying the STi, but you don't see Subaru giving out any deals on it to move them. I mean, if someone really wants the car they wouldn't mind paying the extra $2-3K difference. My friend just bought an 05 STi, so I'm curious to see actual numbers on this. I'm sure the WRX sales beat out both the Evo and Sti sales combine, though.

In 02 WRX sold in the 20K units
In 03 Sales dropped to 10K
In 04 they jumped up to 15K (new body style helped)

I don't know in the 05

STIs in 04 about 2300 units is what I read on nasioc
and people on this board claim 5000 evos.

for 04 evo sales have dropped at least 30% every mouth from the year before.

I don't know how ture the numbers are but this is what my understanding is.

same here, i see more sti's in central NJ but many folks in north jersey seem to see evos quite often... guess it depends on the area... the sti is slightly more mature so maybe you'll find more of them in quieter towns while the evo being more popular with the younger racers in the city area

I probably see 3 blue/gold STI's a day, but never any Evos. I know they produced many more Evos, but they must be on the West Coast.

I have seen at least 15 evos around Ann Arbor, and only 3 sti's... Now WRX's, thats another story. I have seen probably 35 different wrx wagons alone and plenty more sedans. I take every oppertunity to revv at the middle age ladies in the wagons haha I know I'm an *******.

I see more Evo's here in Columbia; however, STi's are starting to show up a LOT more than a few months ago, but I think that is due to new ownership of the Subie dealership.

I'd chime in on the subjective front and say from an informal count basis, I see 3 to 4 times as many STI's as Evo's in the Northern Californian / North SF Bay area.

I'd like to see the official sales numbers though.

Maybe you can see more STi's because the EVO's are all driving way too fast and all you see is a blur going by...
