oh yeah, and by the way-

if the street 206 was setup anywhere near as well as the EVO, i'd be all over it. LOVE the WRC car. and the Focus, too. if they sold a powerful AWD version with a little of the more aggressive styling of the mits and STI, they'd be awesome, cool cars.

but as an anemic FWD 4banger? please.

 

Dont be so pessimistic guys. As long as there is a huge market demand for a race car-like, then there will be some company out there making it to satify the mass. Nonetheless, I love both cars. I think the STI 2.5T boxer is badass if you ask me. I dont think subie is stupid enough to resk their name by putting in an unproven motor to match up with their flagship car. Also the STI spec-C is another badass subie. I hope they will incorporate alot of the features in the Spec-C to the US STI. Peace...

 

give it a rest guys, both great cars!

 

Moot point brought up by someone trying to justify the purchase they made.

If it's fast, it's fast. No excuses. Having more displacement does not make it a lesser car and having a new engine does not either. Parts are being developed and will continue to be developed for some time in order to mod it into a serious beast.

People who bring up crap like this tend to be trying to justify NOT getting it. I guess not all people can be totally satisfied with their purchase, although most STi and EVO owners seem quite satisfied.

check out the price diffrence than ask yourself why you see more peugeot in the street than evo's. you think there is a lot of people in europe that can fork out 76,000 dollars (price in greece) to buy an evo or would they prob. buy a peugot for under 20,000 and hook it up.

i go to europe every summer i agree all you see is peugeot 206, and even more popular the 106 all they do is remind me of civics, cauing too much noise.

 

completly agree, love the looks of those cars.

 

I think that both the Evo and the STi should have come with 2.0 L turbo motors, about 300 HP...
