More or less. The wagon tails have a different shape but you can't really see it if you're only looking at one or the other.

They are pretty much the same. Pretty much.

My son just called me to say," Hey Dad, I'm sitting in a new STI!" His mom took him to the auto show at the convention center and Lithia (or somebody) has a blue one there. His expert opinion: "It's pretty kewl and looks a lot better in real life than the pictures on the internet."

I saw that exact car on Lithia's showroom floor earlier in the week. That opinion is right on w/ mine.

Sucks there was no shift knob in it but the dealership guy said they took it off just so that it wouldn't be stolen. I wish they had another color besides the blue. But yes, pretty cool.

I saw it at Lithia as well. It isn't as bad in person, but it is still a hatchback.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-18, 10:36 PM

I FINALLY saw one driving on the street.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-02-18, 11:00 PM

Yeah, well I saw an Evo X today.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-18, 11:05 PM

I hope it wasn't white.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-02-19, 08:21 AM

Why do you say that? I did see it going through Dayton so you probably know what I'm talking about. Its just a lancer with a body kit? I didn't know whether or not the Evo would be on the streets yet so I just assumed.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-19, 09:23 AM

Yeah somebody has a white one.

Yeah, I see a white one with a body kit around Reno too. From what I've seen of it, it is just a Lancer with a body kit.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-02-19, 11:18 AM

There is a yellow turbo OZ drivin around. The owner is convinced he owns and Evo.

MorganK · 2008-02-19, 02:22 PM

I've seen a white EvoX with placards here in Carson driven by an older gent, drove next to him for a few miles before I had to turn off. The car is much nicer in person than I had imagined.

JC · 2008-02-19, 03:03 PM

I'm still digging the X more.

Kevin M · 2008-02-19, 03:04 PM

van · 2008-02-19, 03:54 PM

I'm liking the new evo.
I sat in the sti at the autoshow and couldnt keep my damn knees/upperlegs from hitting the steering wheel when I put meh foot on the brake pedal. No amount of seat or wheel adjustment helped. The new wrx was a little better but I dont like the look or new diff setup on it.

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-19, 04:57 PM

Re. the EVO-X... I have to quote Rodney Dangerfield (I think):

"Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!"

bxracer69 · 2008-02-19, 05:52 PM

the new evo is definately growing on me more than the new sti

Just not diggin' the STi. Doesn't work for me whatsoever.

WRX06TR · 2008-02-19, 11:33 PM

I agree the new Evo is the new hotness...

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-20, 10:22 AM

Red tails with the reverse lights cut out:

I saw a nice WRX sedan today. I wish the STI was based off it instead of a wagon... but I still haven't seen the 08 STI in person yet.

Kevin M · 2008-02-20, 10:28 AM

Not bad, but I think I'd go with smoked lenses instead of red if I had one.

Dammit! Blocked by IGT's filter. Wanna attach it for me? *bats eyes*

After seeing the car in person, I like it. I'm not all swooning over it like I was when the Sti frist came out... but it's nice enough that it makes me consider getting rid of the SVX while it's working good and easier to sell and getting a new STi for a daily driver. I just don't really want another damn car payment though... especially since I'm buying a house.

knucklesplitter · 2008-02-20, 10:45 AM

I like that charcoal color. I think smoked lense on a smoke-colored car would be too much... smoke?
