I don't think it's going to really impact sales, though. I mean, Subaru has never been known for creating wonderfully styled cars (though perhaps now it's a little more infuriating because we know that they actually can).

It's almost perfect- you can now get an Evo without being forced to own a Mitsubishi.

I need to see the interior. They were light years behind Mitsu on the technology and quality there. Wish it had a hatch for my MTB's. I was looking forward to this for my DD. Not so excited now, but it does look better in other colors besides red and with better wheels on it.

Every Evo I've been in has been far, far worse inside than any of my Subies with the exception of the seats.

Are you customizing the crap out of your Subie's too!? LOL

I was at the Chicago auto show last year and sat in both to compare. The Mitsu interior has all the latest tech and and quality luxery like material with a race car type feel. The Suburu was waaaaaay behind on tech and the interior theme was more suited to hold up to my dog than look and feel luxurious. Which makes sense, because that's kinda what they are after. But it just looks like crap!

I sold my latest one a few years back to buy the Z, so I haven't seen a new Subie interior in a while. I guess something's changed with Mitsu lately, because all the Evos I've seen were cheap plastic everywhere with a fantastic set of Recaros.

You probably don't mean the Evo just Mitsubishi in general vs Subaru in general.
Chucky summed it up........Evos I've seen were cheap plastic everywhere with a fantastic set of Recaros.


But damn that STI looks much better then the new base WRX. In a couple of years if I need a performance 4dr, the new STI would have to be on my list.
