but is the MR even in production yet? i think ive read about it and it is truly badass. trust me, these two vehicles are the cars i would choose over any ferrari or anything like that. but i would still take the STi.
personally i hate the USDM taillights on the evo's. but i have to admit, ive seriously looked into both, and they are really close.
for me, the fact that the evo has what, a 13 gallon gas tank, and clear tail lights and all that performance, i would be fillin up every day.
this is not me bashn the evo, id kill for one, but my heart is in the STi.

but what is that new evo that has no wing, no radio, no ac, etc.... they are really cheap.
