All things being equal, I'd buy the STi, as well. Unfortunately, all things aren't equal and the STi's motor is presenting some issues. To be perfectly honest, neither car is terribly appealing. If i were shopping for a new sporting car right now, I'd be considering the 370z, a MCS, a GTI, a Mustang....
the handling resembles more a yatch than a car.

yeah, in a straight line, in a perfect road. lots of fun. I gues i bought an engine when i bought the shelby, not a car. my evo does circles around the shelby on the track, but the shelby passes the evo on the 1/4 mile like the evo let of the gas.

evo is the much better car. maybe if it was 2011 sti sedan vs evo x then who knows. the new sti looks nice and should be a force to be reckoned with. the 08 sti is a turd. check the reviews from every single car site on the net. r they all wrong?

first of all, anybody can buy any car for any reason, or no reason at all.
Second of all, I have a GF, of whom has a 5 year old daughter and we like to go places and do fun things and typically we have to bring stuff with us. We could not do this with the Evo X's trunk. We could bring plenty of stuff along in the STi for sure. So yeah a lot of you may buy the car for the all out performance and not care about space, but there are people who would like performance but still be able to haul stuff around and go on trips, etc. without having to buy a Toyota Rav4 or minivan.

I can agree on the reliability issues with the 08 STi's, grenading motors and what not but the actual car itself is a damn good car, I don't care what MotorTrend, Car & Driver or any other ignorant magazine says.

The 2010 STi Special Edition is $32,900 MSRP, which has beefier suspension than the regular STi's, deletes HIDs, replaces the 10 speaker system with a standard 4, replaces dual climate control with regular A/C knobs and removes the turn signals from the side mirrors.

Once again Evo = cheaper to mod, better track car
sty = better dd, 6 speed manual tranny
they are both great cars and I personally think sti's look way better in person than in pictures, but just beware of the piston problems when buying an sti. My buddy was stage 2 and had his motor blown due to that.
