I don't think there's an SUV with less horsepower, not sure on that Raver-4 tho...

P.S. there are at least 2 other Airtrek threads started already.

If it's not made in Normal, Illinois then technically it's not a Diamond Star. DSMs are manufactured in the US (and sold here).

Ack...how dare you steal my line. DSM = Eclipse/Talon/Laser, 3000GT VR-4/Stealth RT...is that it? Do we count the V6's that are being shared in the Stratus and the Eclipse?

I forgot to mention how much I liked the comment on it having "massive, swollen *****" What a horrible and yet wonderful way to describe a car.

Sorry for OT aspect...After living and working in Tokyo for about a year, it's almost funny that cars like the Evo, Sti, and RSKB4 are on the roads over there. There's so much freakin traffic around the major cities that expressways are always congested and always have a fair amount of trucking on them for long haul transport even at the wee hours of the morning.

It's even more amusing that for a large part of their domestic car commecials, it shows a happy Japanese couple driving their wheels somewhere in either the Pacific Northwest or California, since we've actually got a lot of wide open spaces left.

Japan is a mostly mountainous chain of islands with little inhabitable space. This formula adds up to a lot of gridlock. I did see a few Evos when I walked from my apt to the office, but always idling in traffic.
