Looks like the Evo X is a real winner in this matchup

It's already made my wallpaper and my dreams, perhaps after a couple of years when the MR shows it's face, it will make my driveway!!!!

That's dissapointing since the Evo X looks so cool, and reminiscent of the 8G. Hopefully a performance pkg will BOOST up the downfalls.

whatever shortcomings the new evo has will be worked out in the aftermarket. if ur gonna buy and evo, ur not gonna leave it stock.

Gotta agree with Reelax. I wouldn't buy either car to keep it stock. Hell I've never met someone who didn't already have parts ready to be bought when they pick up one of these.

Does ANYBODY like the new look of the WRX?? Personally I think it is HORRIBLE!!! Hopefully Suburu will relize the mistake they made. Just my personal opinion. :D

Agreed. I'm thinking the new design was Toyota's doing as it looks like a freakin Toyota. Way to let such a boring company buy a share of your own, Subaru. :roll:

Strange, Car and Driver said just the opposite minus straight-line performance. I'll watch the video when I get home.

Don't watch that video its shit. There is too much driver error and other bullshit. The Motor Trend article has the new Evo X beating the new STi on the track by a full second. So the new Evo handles great its just not as fast as it used to be at the dragstrip.

Yeah, the only way to tell for sure is to let "The Stig" take them both around the Top Gear track!

Yeah, let the Stig drive it. It will surely determine the better car. Yes, I said "it." The Stig is not a person, it's a thing. :|

Some say his skin has the texture of dolphins ... and He naturally faces magnetic north ... all we know is that he is called "The Stig"

Top Gear rocks, I watch it every week :)

I betcha don't watch the ones straight from the UK though... I wish I could give you access to this server I got all the Season 10 episodes from. It's for another forum, though. If you've already seen all of Season 10, then mad props for being a real TG fan. Otherwise, you're really missing out because it's been the best season yet.

PM me and maybe I'll host them from my house and let you download them. I've got ~900 Kbps up, which isn't too bad.

Ive seen the first half of Season 10. I still need to go back and watch all of Season 9, I missed a few eps. I usually just get the torrents and watch it on BBC America when it comes on.

The torrents are usually the crappy 350-meg versions or the kind that require some "special player" Malware nonsense. I've got DVD-quality 700 MB versions 8)
