They are preparing us for the Mitsu vehicles in the Fast and the Furious 2, lololol.

On the place where the license plate would be it says "are you in?" Is this part of the new Evo marketing or is it old?

None of the above.

That would be an HKS design choice.

What the hell did they do to that EVO they ruined a perfect car with rice.

No 6 speed and no active drivetrain. I have been waiting for a very long time for this car to find myself being swayed to the STI, with a 6 speed and a much revised suspention. But I a still holding out hope.

Considering the STi won't be out for half a year after the Evo it's not like you're pressed for time. They're called rumors for a reason. Hold out and see what comes and I'm sure that having the facts will be a lot more beneficial towards your decision than all the rumors being thrown about. Good luck with either car.

Personally I'd rather have an STi. I'm starting to sway from the electronic and move more and more to the mechanical as I go. Not to mention I like the AWD Neon look the new Subarus have despite the God-awful tail lights.

When I said the comment about the 5 spd, I was talking about the comment made when he said the 5 spd had an excellent feel to it, and compared it to a M3's. Hell, I know mitsu's tranny's are the best, hence my purchase of the Lancer. Like I said, I've had enough tranny headaches to last me a lifetime.

Hell, I'm glad Mitsu isn't just sticking a piece of junk 6 spd on the Evo just because it's the newest/best thing, and a "hot" item to have on current vehicles. I mean, the fact that they aren't putting it on there shows Mitsu's commitment to excellence, and gives me a bit more hope that this won't be a terribly watered down car. My .02, I'd rather mitsu leaves that bullet proof 5 spd than lays down a piece of crap box just to say it HAS a 6 spd like some other cars *cough Tiburon GT cough*.

In my experience, which has grown quite a bit lately, the above is good advice.

You should not buy either the Evo or the STi without a test drive, and when you do test drive them, try to discard the rose-colored glasses at the same time. When I was younger, there were many cars that I would have bought without even a test drive, such as a Skyline GT-R, or a Silvia Turbo. Having had a broader range of experience since then, and having actually driven them in a objective manner, I realized how my personal taste is much more important than magazine numbers and reports by people who simply don't look at driving the same way I do. Evo's, STi's, GT-R's and Silvia's, they all have distinct automotive personalities, and it's likely only one of them will really satisfy your actual preferences.

thanks for the calming messages. As having owned a GMC Syclone and a T.T. Supra, I am ready for the speed. But now in life I need a family car that doubles as a fun toy. The 6 speed would calm the freeway revs down to a reasonable level IMO. But I will definately drive both before either the EVO or STI has my hard earned dollars.

Here is my person favorite from the SEMA show

BOOYAH1369

I like the Blue. It would be my first choice. I've seen some nice 555 paint jobs in Japan. I like the big ricer wings, too, though.
So shoot me.
