corey240 · 01-17-2007, 02:31 PM

the wrx is hot, that evo is just too boxy. nice but not quit right.

*exitspeed* · 01-17-2007, 02:41 PM

Impreza is much better, but don't count on seeing that hatch here. I still don't like the "nose" shape that extends from the center of the grill up over the hood.

The Evo X concept is still a concept. Officialt pics of the actual Evo have not been released yet. Though the Lanser has.

LB.Motoring · 01-17-2007, 02:47 PM

Impreza hatch = Subaru Sex

New Evo(well the concept that is) = Subaru Legacy.

Dont believe me

haha jk, its just weird. Now adays...... I dont see any real fresh ideas... maybe im getting old

NervGS · 01-17-2007, 02:48 PM

Impreza looks too much like a European car.

Front reminds me of a Prius.

I don't like.

SimpleS14 · 01-17-2007, 02:51 PM

At first I thought the Evo was hot given that the Concept X is just a thinly disguised version of the production car.....but if the STi looks anything that p-chop I'd go with that instead.

However, everything really does depend on the final specs, design and a Best Motoring comparison.

HOT? maybe without these two total unecessary doors,
whats the point of this fucking four doors on "sports" cars latly?

where are the good old times,
buying cars in a sportly two door manner?................

maybe thats why i drive an "lowly" s13

And that's why we won't get it here. Reminds people too much of a Euro car.

*tacotacotaco* · 01-17-2007, 03:06 PM

Lol i used to be all for the 2 door coupes but as of lately a sporty 4 door is more in my view. Having 2 s13's another 2 door coupe is kinda pointless. Also for insurance reasons and practicality a 4 door is more appealing to later 20 year olds. A sporty 4 door is a more practical option at my age where time for just driving around is monopolized by time at work and school and the need for a vehicle that is more comfortable and not limited by a 2 seat arraingment. PS a 240 will not fit 2 grown adults comfortably let alone older/ more professional persons.

A sporty functional car vs a sport car.

Some cars actually still look good with four doors, as over the top you may think that to be.

And why not four doors, it's just way easier and if it still looks good who gives a shit. And on a side note, my WRX, even when stock, is way "sportier" than alot of other two-door cars that can be had, and yes, even more than your S13. (considering it is not heavily modded)

wootwoot · 01-17-2007, 03:11 PM

Mitsubishi needs to step up into what is going to be the next market competition. The 5 door hatch wars. All they would need to do is throw in the 4g63 fwd or whatever its replacement is going to be and boom, they are in the running big time.
Evo/STI, it doesnt really matter what they look like. Its the other features that are important. They both need to get those damn curb weights down though!!!!

The new Evo, dispite being larger is only supposed to increase in weight by a few pounds. Still not going in the right direction, but at least it's not too much in the wrong direction.

Oh and the MS3 is still gonna be the best bang for your buck in the 5 door htach segment.

on that

school and work make 2drs less appealing at times

i really wouldn't mind having a 330hp subie wrx hatch

as far as the evo...

no thanks....

Mitsubishi is going under.

*Yuri* · 01-17-2007, 03:29 PM

Functionality sucks.
I'm selling my evo. I love it, but it comes with too many strings attached, mainly being able to give people rides, and stuff like usable storage space.
I would daily drive a Caterham Super 7 if I felt like spending that much money on a car again.
I'd never have to give rides to 4 people again.

I'll be daily driving my Supra, then eventually get a Jaguar XK8. those cars are sexy+luxurious, and it would blow people's minds to see one at a Justdrift event.

VROOOM · 01-17-2007, 03:29 PM

i saw an Evo X last night on katella in anaheim going to the ducks game last night. it looked exactly like those pictures. same color and everything, had dealer plates on it. it actually looked pretty good in person. i would have taken pictures but it was way too dark.

*ManoNegra* · 01-17-2007, 03:36 PM

Subaru Hatch may make me break my no-new-car policy... am I wrong or haven't they always been 4 doors (WRXs and STIs I mean)?

*Yuri* · 01-17-2007, 03:43 PM

There's been WRX wagons.

The car is not out yet. Evo production is skipping a year before the X comes out. The only way you saw a X is if it was the concept car. And I know for a fact that it's sitting next to the new Lanser at the Detroit auto show.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

And I'm in the same boat as Yuri. I have a Camry...I want something completely not practical.

wootwoot · 01-17-2007, 03:55 PM

Thats what I'm looking for right now. Ive got 10k. Bring it on. If only I wasnt a damn student I could get a Mazda Speed3 or wait out on that WRX 5doorer

VROOOM · 01-17-2007, 03:57 PM

actually i was behind it for more than 5 blocks and it was that car same color and everyhting, it had dealer plates, and was a few miles away from mitsubishi's US headquarters.

my thread from last night

zenki-217 · 01-17-2007, 03:57 PM

I like the subi . I think the evo is ugly as hell.

OWTKAST cpt · 01-17-2007, 03:58 PM

I would pass on the evo.. the aftermarket im sure will tackle the front end and cure the ugliness that i personally feel.

The WRX hatch lookd amazing, it cought my eye first thing... (then again it was the first pciture) lol....

Its going to be interesting to see if the WRX gains a following and the Evo loses a little, but i doubt that happens.

CKAMC · 01-17-2007, 04:33 PM

Yeah the hatch isnt doing it for me. The evo does look more appealing now.

LB.Motoring · 01-17-2007, 04:38 PM

yeah, but the states will never see that.

this is about production cars...

JewGal · 01-17-2007, 04:41 PM

A girl can wish.

LB.Motoring · 01-17-2007, 04:44 PM

yah me too...

I love pink.

anyways.

Evos, seem so much.. I donno... they just feel less rugged than the wrx..

and it seems they are continuing that here, the evo is (evolving) into a more of a car ez goes it, and the suby is bringing more of its crazy roots out...

If i had the choice. wrx.

Chances are it was a final pre-production test mule, or maybe even an early press car.
With Mitsubishi getting ready with the X, there will be test mules and preproduction press cars wandering around all over SoCal.
