yea. different letters. no but for real. i haven't even seen a new STI that isn't a wagon... i don't like the new look of either car but think that Mitsu did a much better job of keeping it sporty. EVO X w/ it's AYC. DEFINATLY!!!!

and seriously... what did you think we'd say? this is www.MITSUBISHIforum.com

Okay. Im going to quoteCar&Driver and Road&Track.

Out of the VW Golf R32, EVO X, and STi, the STi came last, and the EVO came first. Why?

STi:

Highs: Fantastic high-end grunt, supple ride, an interior worth of the sticker price.

Lows: Vague, overly assisted steering; flaccid power below 4000 rpm; a chassis set to terminal understeer.

EVO X:

Highs: Yaw control that abolishes understeer, awesome grip, great low-end torque for a turbo.

Lows: Needs a telescoping steering wheel, one more gear, and an interior worth the price.

This is a direct quote from Car&Driver. (I couldnt find the road and track one) lol.

I would 100% agree with what is written here. I would have also added that the STi is incredibly ugly for one, and if you ever decide to modd the hell out of the car, the EVO can handle a crap load more power on the stock internals than the STi. The reason being, its horizontally opposed motor.

They both blow. My advice would be to waitatleast a couple years to see if their ugly asses can atleast be proven.
