Neither. Step it up in style. Who knows, I may even go for some American Muscle. Realistically, if the X turns out to be good, which it won't, I'd stick with it.

Evo X.

Even with the camoflage, I can see that the STI will not be much more appealing than the WRX. The STI *may* have a better power/weight ratio than the X, but I think the Evo will maintain the overall perfomance edge it has enjoyed over the STI for a while now.

Either way, I prefer a balance between form and function. Even if the STI does edge out the EVO X on the track, I won't be swayed. I'd take an 04-07 STI over an Evo 8 or 9 for the same reason. THe difference in performance is so slight that the appearance is the deciding factor. If that's the case, then again, I'll go with the better looking car.

Im not sure how the STI will perform but the new WRX isnt outperforming the older one in much other than slalom and braking.

Personally wouldnt ever buy a subaru nothing against the STi its a good car. I just dont like it. I like the X and think just as good as the VIII or IX if not better but I'm gonna hold off to buy one.

New Camaro and Challenger look mean! Retro and modern at the same time.

I would definately consider the Camaro. I used to own a '98 TA, so I know how much fun big n/A V8 Torque can be. However, after owning 2 N/A FWD cars, and then 4 N/A RWD cars over the last 10 years, I decided I want to own a Turbo AWD car next. Unfortunately, that eliminates the Camaro, and the Sky Redline.

If I hit the lottery I may pick one up
