Your telling me, I swapped interiors the week after I picked up my STi to the Black WRX interior, I don't know what they are thinking with their Blue seats, carpet, and door cards..

See, now that makes the interior much nicer! Why wouldn't they use a universal color, such as black, for the interior?

Because the dealer sold my STi after I put a deposit on it. That's why I got the Evo.

No idea. Maybe if I wanted the Blue STi I could handle the blue interior but why would anyone want a white or black car with a blue interior that matches nothing else on the car?

My family only buys mitsubishi cars! We have two gallants, montero, outlander, lancer GTS & an evo VIII. Mitsu warranty is great! The dealer gave me a good deal on the evo since they know us already. Besides the looks, the evo's performance & handling are outstanding!!!!

Probably the same as everyone else. But it looks way better and just makes power way easier. It was my dream car and when i was buying a new car if i couldnt get financed for it i didnt want a car until i could.
