Not "evo haters". I just like subies better, personally. I'd KILL SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THEIR MOTHER for a Legacy Turbo.

Man none of you saw this coming after the President of Mitsubishi was indicted for covering up million upon millions of demands for recalls and 2-3 dealers near me closed shop. Mitsubishi has always sucked as a car company they make complete crap.

I'm very happy with my evo. I test drove every other car in its class, nothing compared, IMO. If we had the 6 TME, I would take it, but we live in America, so we don't. I don't think the 8 is THAT much worse. I think if you actually drove the car you would have a different opinion. Oh well, why am I even trying to defend it? lol

eh, thats kind of a bummer. It would be great if Mitsubishi could get their crap together. I mean honestly, the more diverse selection of cars out there the better. Besides that I think that Subaru and Mitsubishi's playing off of eachother and trying to outdo eachother works out to the benefit of consumers.
Plus I've always been a far of the 3000gt vr4s. A bit of a high maintainance pig, but still fun to drive.
