cliffs:

they expect the US version to have about 300 hp, 0-60 in the low 5's. as far as how it stacks vs the evo, they said

"But now that we've driven both cars, we can safely say that the perceived gap between the two doesn't exist, as both cars offer superior levels of handling and performance. The levels of technology in both are outstanding and the driving experience is second to none."

also:
"It's still blindingly quick and has the footwork to match, but now it's less raw around the edges and has some more road manners."

sounds a lot like the evo x

 

Evo will always be superior.

 

I wouldn't say that just yet.

 

Just what I figured. Subaru will be a force to be reckoned with in WRC. I think the hatchback design looks extremely promising. Can't wait to drive it. A STI with better balance and less understeer will be a great improvement. Not to mention the functionality that a hatchback provides for basic A to B transportation.

 

I liek the sti i am pretty sure evyeroen knows the move towards hatch was for wrc.

Heh solberg said he had a part in subaru's decision =)
