the red one is nice… its actually “tighter” looks wise. meaning its wider than the compact hatches but still small. The rear difuser combined with the quad exhaust looks mean as. And the front pumped out fenders really does have a lot of potential to house wider wheels which even gives it a much more aggressive look. If I was Subaru, I would of put 18×9 on the fronts and 18×10 on the rears, it makes a huge difference….
took a look at the Evo too… its not that special to be honest… it has a narrow look… Mitsubishi should of opted for a more aggressive fender design. The front look is still very aggressive looking, but it does have a “flat” front, which can increase drag, although it does allow a lot of air into the intercooler and engine.. so cooling will not have issues… from impressions anyways.

The interior is very nice also…. just a very good packaged car… it should win best performance car under 70k…. quiet easily in my opinion…

being the drift king i suppose he has his reasons. btw the show is meant to be in a format with a bit of humour. with cars like evos or stis where they are able to handle it with ease (being professionals) they are less strung up and try to have fun while giving comments on their cars as well as in comparison to the cars they are racing against. i just wish they would continue the Best Motoring International series that has english subtitles.

i think Jeremy clarkson will also have the same opinion. he would slam the evoX for being slower. but he would also like the car. more than the sti

I think I’m just pissed off that the EVO’s got trounced!

I really wonder what went wrong with the Mitsus getting 3,4,5 and the new glorified one of that breed getting dead last.

I still think for general use the DSG is a glorified auto and despite having quicker shift times, in the real world, the way you tell what gear you are in is by feel of the gear stick – Sound of engine revs (which some readers have posted as to how you know when to change gear) don’t necessarily tell you what gear you are in so you can tell exactly what you need to do so you end up where you want to be in terms of gearing. Having driven enough auto cars with ‘manual’ override in my opinion it is just a shit house way of changing gears – esp shifting down. It seems obvious that the Mitsu Evo MR driver, who is a professional, was struggling with it.

Seems the Evo MR really is the lazy mans ’sports’ sedan with the resultant lazy mans result. The truth is in the result of this race.

I myself haven’t seen it in the flesh, but every friend I know who’s seen it in the flesh are actually quite surprised, because the picture and the real thing is quite different.

Can’t wait for the Stig to drive both and compare the times. Maybe include the Golf R32 as well…=)

I doubt they’d make the video with amatuers like most people here.

Again, reiterate my stance on the new STi. It looks nice too, people just keep envisioning it as a sedan.

As I personally hate the new lancers, this is a big thing for me to be saying this much.

; )

Can Subaru get the WRC crown back with this car?

The only thing I understand is “Haiyai”, which means fast. And also “Sayonara”…I think everyone knows what that means…
