Well, I actually think the new STI looks to be modeled after the shorter, more nimbler cars that normally win at the WRC level. I don't think it looks bad, but then again I like the small WRC hatch look...dunno, looks neat to me I guess. I think the Evo X looks better though as far as something that looks nice driving down the street without screaming LOOK AT ME! Don't get me wrong, it's still saying it, just more nonchalant like.

The new STi straight line performance on 91 octane matches an EVO 9 performance, but its seems to have better slalom numbers and stopping distance than the old STi even though its running worse tires. The new X will have major problems trying to win against it thats for sure.

Its 305HP and 290TQ but with a wider powerband since they started using Variable Timing on the intake and exhaust this time. I think STi major problem is the stock turbo they run on it... its too damn small. The big 16 G on the EVO is way better.
Its a single scroll IHI turbo...I don't know why they still use single scroll. Its not like its "cutting-edge" technology anymore.

I agree... The JDM version uses a twin scroll turbo with a 8k RPM redline. It also weighs 3200lbs which is awsome. In the middle east you have the choice to choose between the JDM 2.0 and the US spec STi. The 2.0 seems like the ideal choice for performance and modifications since its a closed deck.

i've seen the EVO X...the front end looks amazing in person. The side profile is also good, but rear view looks pretty lame. I think the new subaru looks pretty darn aggressive in the pics.
I had an EVO X order, but after reading all these reviews and poor performance numbers, I quickly went back to the dealer to cancel my order.
