I believe he is talking about the grey part of the grille that goes towards the oval subie stars logo. Well.. the "sports" grille from Subaru is not my thing, and I haven't seen an aftermarket grille I like yet, so for now, it stays. Doesn't really "bother" me at all to be honest about it. Some guys have blacked it out though.

I almost bought an 08 sti before test driving X ( big mistake imo). For sheer driving pleasure and performance EVO wins hands down, but Sti is a better dd bec of its fold down seats and usable trunk.
For performance - EVO X > STI
For comfort - STI > EVO X

It was a great value, but I have been researching the Evolution MR for two years, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase: a 2010 Lancer Evolution MR Touring.

yeah its annoying i see older people in WRxs and stuff its pretty funny cause i do see alot of subarus. it would be nice to see an AWD setup in the GTS but that would probably bump the price up too close to the RA.
and the comment on how people dont give the evo a chance is how a lot of us do subies haha.. cause to be honest i would never step foot inside a subaru no matter how much they changed it up.

I helped a friend of mine buy a new subaru several months ago. She wanted a brand new (non-WRX) 2.5i, and I helped her with the purchase, and the haggling and all that. Unfortunately, after driving that car and comparing the price she paid with the price I paid for my GTS, I just didn't see the value difference. She paid a tad less than I did for my 09, but her interior was pretty much stripped down, and she had AWD, whereas I had the nicer interior and no AWD. It was pretty much a straight trade. For the price you'd pay for the Impreza 2.5GT, you could get a loaded Ralliart. Pretty much straight across, and the Ralliart would have the nav.
Blah, either way, I grew up driving subarus. Learned to drive in the snow in an old 60's wagon with 4wd. Great car, but choosing between the two, Mitsu it is. Better styling, and more options.
Oh, and the Subarus have never offered anything like the fastkey system. That's one of the big things that sold me on my GTS.

With the engine issues plaguing the 08+ STI's, I sometimes wish I would have gone with the MR instead of the STI... I've owned an 06 MR and an 04 STI before.. daily driver, STI wins for me, but right now, with all the questions surrounding the engine in the STI, I kinda wish I went with the MR.
subaru sales #'s go up, quality goes down.

I have a 05 sti right now and am looking to sell it and get myself into an evo x. As far as the sti, for the first 2 years i was happy with it, but now it's starting to show the lack of quality in the build. IMO.

I came from a stage 2 02 bugeye and went to the X gsr.... love the difference in power, and i cant wait to start modding the X. Only complaint that i have is the short 5 gears >.<
Was thinking about getting an 08sti but couldn't get over the look of the hatchback. plus i think the front's look kind of odd.
