Title Fight: Evo X vs. WRX STi - At almost the same moment, Mitsubishi and Subaru have slammed the door on the past. The flame-spouting, wheel-churning rally-specification sedans of recent years have been tossed onto the ash heap, and in their place we find the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X and 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI — two cars that are about sophistication as well as speed.

Replying to: merrycynic (Sep 25, 2008 9:30 am) C&D "slammed" it because they ran it ON A TRACK. Most people do not drive on a VIR type raceway every day, if ever. Subaru simply made the car more liveable. After all it is about selling cars. Making the car more palatable for everyday use by the 40-ish crowd is going to sell more cars. I like both the EVO and the STI but I would certainly opt for the STI over the EVO as a daily driver any day. Many other cars in that list got "slammed" (G37, etc) because although they are great cars they are not set up for the track. Replies to this message: merrycynic (Sep 25, 2008 5:56 pm)

Replying to: rascal99 (Sep 25, 2008 4:52 pm) I'd buy the STi over the EVO too, I need a 5 door. The WRX and STi are marketed for the performance crowd. Those magazine reviews might actually help in that endeavor.
