I hate all 3 of them. But the Evo > * in this case. The sti looks like a fuckin mini nissan murano. The R32 looks like the rest of the GTIs out there. I used to love how distinguished the older R32 looked with the bigger wheels and different front bumper and things.

And I honestly do think the Evo would out perform both cars. I'm judging this based on reputation.

Neither. It looks like pure shit. Speed is not the only deciding factor in me liking a car.

Nicley said....BTW, The EVO X has a hint of Volvo in the body style that catches my attention.

You can't see it from the inside. I personally think the new STi looks a brozillion times better than the new Evo but if the Evo were more fun to drive (impossible in this case) then I might consider it over the STi.

And since we're on the subject of outward appereance, here's what people would say when they saw me driving each of these cars-

STi- "Look at that happy-ass good looking dude enjoying the shit out of that strange little car. I wish I was having that much fun."

R32- "Look at that distinguished good looking dude on the way to work in his Golf."

Evo- "Look how unhappy that good looking dude driving that boxy gimmick seems. I wonder how he got duped into buying such a whiz-bang, bodykitted, automatic Lancer. He must be headed to the Kia dealer to trade it in on something that doesn't blow so much nuts."

While I prefer previous generation STi's to the current one, out of the existing poll I think that Subaru takes the win.

2008 STI FACTS\/\/\/
driver-programmable electromechanical limited-slip center differential. A torque-sensing mechanical locker varies the torque distribution from its default 41/59 front/rear split to as much as 55/45 or 25/75.
Very interesting fact about the STI
