POS imports !
How can anyone "dis" a "cheap" car that goes 0-60 in 4.7 secs .
And yes , we live in the good ole USA , when someone says
"my car is faster than yours"
We dont go to a autocroos track , we look for a stop light

It gets moved everywhere, as soon as someone says or even thinks the word WRX, one of 3 people say that they blow up when you look at them funny, sneeze, fart or basically do anything around them. It's like on NASIOC where as soon as someone says Evo, people either talk about crank-walk, blown clutches/transfer cases or broken gas pedals.

Some of us have been here for longer than 3 weeks. Some of us have owned Mitsubishis and now own Subarus. Some of us prefer there current car to what Mitsubishi had to offer at the time. I find it funny that someone in an X is calling a WRX an STI wannabe, is the Ralliart an Evo wannabe then?

Evo X in my opinion better looking, handling, features, etc.
But Ill give it to 09 WRX great bang for buck/stepping it up a notch which will always get the STi & Evo guys panties in a bunch
Just get a FPred if you will get butt hurt by seeing 09 wrx tail lights on the street

There really isn't any difference anymore between the two, except the price. Frankly I'm disgusted at the fact that I had to pay $40K for a Evo and the RA gets the same equipment.

Hmmm, just because you have chrome? I can just buy that and put it on the Evo X. It would be cheaper for me to do that then for a Ralliart to get the wide body panels from the X. And I have the Lancer taillights (They are a option in the US for Xs - standard for your RA.....but they come on all the Lancers (RA/Xs) over in Japan so the taillights aren't special). Check out Mitsus website.

Come on now, I knew about the Evo before most of the US before it even hit the shores. I was stationed in Japan and I've own a Evo VIII previously so I've done my research. Wide body panels, cool.....S-AWC, sure....do the the RAs get Brembos? I don't even know but most of the same things you are paying for are going into a car thats not really that different. Of course the Evo is supposed to be faster, it better be for the money but some things that were on the Evo should have stayed just on the Evo. I don't even know why they sell just Lancers - They might as well make Evos and just sell those.....automatics/manuals whatever......appearances and options and few inbetween. And just because you paid much for a car doesn't mean that its a whole lot better ie Evos beating Corvettes? I'm sure corvette owners are pretty irritated at the Evos beating them and costing half the price....

All I can say, is that we the consumer are the winners right now.
You have $20-25k? Civic Si, MS3, Genesis Coupe, Cobalt SS
You have $25-30k? Ralliart, WRX, Evo X GSR
You have $30k-40k? EvoX, STi, 335i, 135i, G37, C6, etc.
It's a good time to be a car guy -- if you have the cash -- right now.
