evo exotic?

last weekend I was in vegas. I went to a exotic car rental place and noticed that they were renting evo as exotics! But thats was weird they did not have any STI as exotics? Are evo really considered exotics? I wonder why STI's don't fall in that category?

I wouldn't say the Evo's an exotic. Those car rental places rent everything from Miatas to Escalades to Ferraris.

I don't think the Evo would be considered an exotic. The rental place probably uses exotic in the liberal sence, as in , not easily found. But hey its good to know people still have some taste.

In the Philippines and I am guessing other parts of the world it is in par with the exotics.

Basically you would not be ashamed to be cruising with Ferraris and the like if you were in an evo.

what is so weird about that? did they have every single exotic car on the planet? there are many places that rent lambos but they don't have masarati. there is an exotic car rental in Beverly hills that was on mtv cribs and they had an STI and not an evo...

oh, and the evo is not an exotic car by any means. it is a 30k car with boy racer looks and crappy interior. these places will rent out cars that they know people want to drive. kids would love to drive the evo and that is probably all they can afford...

This is close to on the money. It's not an exotic, but becuase of the people we attract in Vegas it is an exotic to many of them. They do pretty much rent anything at those places though.

I would almost think it would be difficult to rent though as it is intended for a very specific person. 7 of 10 people don't know what an Evo is when I tell them what car I drive. I love that there weren't any STI's though .
