Logic, is there is really any logic to hate
I try to tell myself, you know what deep down the STI and EVO have a lot in common, and I tell myself can't we all just get along, but in the end this nagging pure passionate hatred toward Subaru over comes me. Sorry it is the way I feel, nothing you say will change that (not even Dr. Phil) so I suggest we move on

I hate people who buy big **** trucks and don't do anything with them. They pitch a fit if they have to haul lumber in their raised Nissian Titan.. "Might scratch my Line X!" Its like the caddie escalade truck thing.. worthless.
"What is that!?" "That's a SUV, humans are slowly loosing their ability to walk." "How many fit in that thing?" "Hmm, usually just one." From Over the Hedge. Again, SUV's driven for no paticular pupose which a sedan could easily do.. worthless.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Whether you like it or not, the Evo wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for competition from Subaru. And the STI wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for competition from Mitsubishi.
No species can evolve if there is no outside pressure to do so. The STI and Evo may compete on the track, but off the track we're brothers-in-arms.
If you want to be angry at something, how about all the massive SUVs out there guzzling gas and pulluting the atmosphere through their 'truck' loophole? Or the morons in their little ricer buzzboxes that have made our wings a target for police? There's PLENTY to hate in this world, so there's no need to hate on your "brother."

It's a test mule...internally it's an Evo X. And yes, some companies go through the trouble of modifying the chassis of other vehicles to test drive their future production cars.

That's kind of weird, because the body and chasis has a lot to do with the overall performance of the car. That is unless they just wanted to test the reliability of the X's powertrain. But why go through all of that trouble when we have a pretty good idea what the X is actually going to look like? It would make sense if you saw that two years ago. But now? I just don't understand why they are so secretive. Wasted time and money to me.
so you can take more pics!
