They are lucky to not get punted for that sort of move.

These cars are about 15 times as striking in person than on screen. They don't seem to photograph all THAT well, but when you see one in person, seamless look.

Such is the case with just about any Japanese design.

So you care more about looks than fun to drive?

You must be only looking at the first 2 numbers. It actually starts out at $24,955 and if you feel like rounding, $25k. You're off by about $1000 there and $1000 can get you a lot of things like RPF1s to replace those fugly factory wheels (that is, if it really is $24k starting).

So far, whoever owns one are enjoying it and that's really all that matters. Not going to make me love one and I still think it's a hyped up car.

My bad, I got my price from here

I think that is an unnecessary assumption. Clearly just about everyone on this site doesn't care about looks.....

Get it??? It's because they drive Evo's.

Some more food for thought. I haven't driven one yet, but anyone implying it's not fun to drive is doing it wrong lol: http://s1244.photobucket.com/albums/...&current=2.jpg
