Aside from all the articles picking the Evo over the STi, you guys ever notice how the Evo is THE cover car for import parts advertisers. Notice how many aftermarket companies are using the Evo to show off their tires, exhausts, etc.

 

cuz evos rock

 

both are nice cars but you see what im driving lol =)

 

cuz the evo has a better exterior, the STi is great performance wise, just as the evo is but hands down when it comes to exterior evo is a better eye catcher. Which is why i think there on covers more and like u said used to show off peoples aftermarket stuff.
