I am with you DC4Dan, even HALF of the seat folding down would be better then none.

I wish the rear armrest/cup holder thing went all the way through to the trunk. That would be great! Then i could actually fit a snowboard through. Hmm custom setup in the future maybe?

Only problem is that there is a lot of stuff in the way. I actually had an Odyssey 680 battery that I put under my passenger seat on my VIII. It worked great, you could not just sit and listen to the radio with the car off, but it started it every time, even in 20 degree weather.

Even if we did something like that we would have to figure out a way to make the seat fold.

That's not been proven at all. And those are Concept X seats that wound up in a test car, not production seating.

The RA's were purported to have been production examples.

LOL! Then you should have bought an Audi, there is even a special bag in there for ski's or snowboard. Plus the seats still fold. The EVO is an all out performance sedan and thus buyers have to do without certain luxury and conveniences. If you want those type of things in a car, then look to another make or model. It's that simple.

yea, the moonroof is a no no... As stated the center of gravity and then the weight.... This is a performance car

And the folding seats, there is a structural brace back there ... Again, this is a performance car....

Wonder why the evo handles better than the sti? That's one of the reasons

Does the new m3 coupe have a moonroof? The gtr?

I admit the trunk is tiny, but these are all just things you have to be able to handle in a car meant for optimal performance vs "just a tarted up econobox"

Any pics of said leather seats? I have heard the Recaros in cloth are held together by hopes and dreams, maybe if they are re-done in leather they will you know, last more than 3k miles...

Unfortunatly after looking at the trunk in the X and taking a look at the STi I am afraid that a STi may be in my future. I have a 10 month old son, I fly R/C airplanes and helicopters and I hunt, the hatchback just makes sense. really like the Evo A LOT, but I do not want to have to wait for my wife to get home to use her SUV. Oh well, I will have some learning to do... Maybe I will change my mind again in between here and there.
JC, if you're gonna wuss out, just buy a Honda Element! Don't buy an STI! You'll never forgive yourself. You need to get the Evo and just learn to cram shat in the trunk better.
