seems like a decent car, but a bit too soon to call it the new "king".

Seeing as how Mitsu quit, and Subaru is content on not using their best motor in the Sti, I think it is safe to crown the RS king sight unseen at this point. There simply isn't anything else in the class worth buying new at this point.

I'm late to the thread but I will never own another Subaru product. Biggest POS ever. Nothing but transmission issues with my 2012 WRX.

Read up on www.nasioc.com about all the issues people are having with the new WRX. I would stay far the eff away from those cars.

The Focus RS is yet to be proven. I have concerns over the electronic diff and a few other weak points but until they hit the streets who knows. They are also going to cost a premium with dealer markup.

The Evo isn't perfect but its a rock solid platform that is proven and with tons of aftermarket support and capability. Plus it looks the best.
