that's why i said "good" instead of great, and "bastardized any further".

This is about the only way they will gain any kind of victory. Since 2003, in no magazine comparison has a Subaru ever been chosen over an Evo. I still cannot really understand why so many more STI's sell than Evo's. Although, I do like the looks of the new STI sedan.

that new STi sedan is just sexual eye candy, especially in the metallic blue or the black.

i was checking one of them out a couple of months ago when i was up at Baierl.

The STI has far greater appeal to a larger audience. Lots of STI's sell after the upsell from a WRX or other subaru.

How many Evo buyers were first and likely last time Mitsu shoppers? Most. I don't think to many gallant or base lancer owners traded in for an Evo.

I wouldn't mind trading in the EVO on a new STI.

I hear they made 5 of these




they can keep them, lol. I'm sad to see the evo die, as to why people buy subarus. They grow on you and hold their value well. Re-sale is good as well.

For E85 users, how much is it per gallon now? I work at a bp and the owner has a tank for E85. His son actually has an evo, well some what of a evo... But anyway if i could get anyone near cranberry interested in E85 i could maybe convince him! The pump alone is $100,000, but i think it could be paid off relatively quick.

Also spotted silver 8 or 9 today coming down freedom road and apparently silver 8 or 9 with 600awhp was at my work not sure if it really had 600awhp but thats what the owner said! i got 10 txts as soon as he drove in.

Who is, "they." Why did "they" ruin 5 STI's? Seeing that is almost worse than hearing about the death of the Evo. I guess Mitsubishi is trying to become Toyota and focus on building appliances with wheels. That is sad news.

Some dealership in the UK commissioned 5 of them to be chopped.

what kind of fuel economy do you guys see with e85?

i might go that route this summer if i get the time. downside is the closest station is in monroeville i think. i dont drive the evo that much so i could probably just fill up some tanks
