Saw 2 sti's today in Cali
 
The first one I saw was in lake tahoe and the other was on my
way home to napa in between fairfield and vallejo/napa. My
observations were it looks good overall but I really like my evo
better. The one in lake tahoe was parked in our hotel parking
lot so I could walk around and look. The only two things I really
did'nt like was the hood scoop and spoiler. I am a former wrx
owner and really like the new body styles better. I can defiantely
say I am happier with my evo just by looks not to mention it beating the sti overall in just about every article. Just my .02

I saw quite a few of them on the streets and parking lots. Nice looking car, but not the rear wing.

It's crazy to me cause I have seen 2 sti's in one day and yet
have never seen an evo yet besides mine on the street. Granted
I currently live Ga where there is probably 15 total? But at home
in the bay area I expected to see more, in fact my dad saw one
on 80 i tink near vallejo just the other day.

ya i have seen two.. cross that three.. all basically in the same week, all blue, all bronze rims..... i give them credit for the car, cool toy.... looks don't impress me, but i do enjoy having the competitor car roaming the streets now. first one i seen off the 101, going down valley circle, the guy waved i gave him a nod and a smile. other one was on the 405 towards palmdale, didn't really care to play with me. ;(... and got off the freeway before i did... the last one i was at a party sitting outside, and was going to get food, seen a huge shadow realizing it was a damnn spoiler. i notied the famous blue .. walked over pink badging.. sti... wtf.. wanted to go find the guy who owned it but by the time i got back he was gone. found out he was a young emo looking 16-17 year old... sheesh.. maybe older but didn't look it.

Saw a black STi here on base in the parking lot of the BX. He had a cat-back system and no spoiler. It was nice but it needed a spoiler.
