I read through the article in Motor Trend again... and even thought the Evo came out on top, by a hair, they thought could have been due to the "road" being stickier for it... and that the STi was a pre-production prototype kind of model. You know, probably not as good as the production run ones will most likely be. They just say they're both great, and to each his own. Frankly I kinda hope the STi doesn't have an explosion of popularity like the standard WRX did. I'd like it to stay pretty unique... and also don't want to see middle aged women and 16 year old ricer punks driving them.

BTW... what arguing? This thread has pretty much stayed in line as a discussion of high performance cars (except for the little blip with Rob and James... which was dispelled quickly). I haven't witnessed any fightin', just talkin', by gum.
