And the evo is a rally car because...? Has mitsu finished a rally since the evo hit the US? Does that awkward looking "Lancer WRC" car have inverted struts (like STi)? Yes! Does evo? No! Does evo even have the same basic body shape as the WRC car? No! So evo doesn't share the body, suspension, or AWD system of ANY rally car, but it's a rally car because it has 2L.
Ha Ha, evo owners. Go figure.

you do know that cars a test car, like any new rally car in its first year, they go through a test period.
you might want to ask yourself, if the STI was so good, why did it kill its driver and navigator by flipping over so much on a simple jump?
