Can i be the first to say

UGH, what a put off, compare that to the evo 9 and tell me with a straight face the evo9 is not sooo much sexier.

Ok heres some validation:
Check out the front profile.. reasonable, with the license plate it may actually look reasonable, The fog light "covers" look too smooth and are not accented enough for my tastes, the whole front has less of a boxy look and more a smooth airodynamic look (which im sure is what the designer was going for) which may do something for its aerodynamics but does nothing for its cosmetic looks, it looks less aggressive, more plain, I understand that they have to deal with the new pedestrian safety for the fronts but the evo 9 looks shit hot and is under the same restrictions

The back: the tail lights look extremely strange, nuff said

and my quite possible worst profile: side on, Check out

and tell me with a straight face that looks like a sports car, its completly boring and underwhelming, the straight line from the back of the car to the front (just under the windows completly straight from the tail to the bonnet scoop) just does not do it for me.

some photographic evidence...

now that's 'sporty'!

mmmm, sexy EVO!!!!! They do still have a very hard edge sports car look to them. I like the front of the VIII but the rear of the IX. But, hey I am very biased.

Looks like fun. The 06 looks particularly ugly in that clip tho. Maybe because you can see the ugly clear lights.

I am not a fan at all of the rear lights. May look OK on a black car, and I know they wanted to make teh o6 different from the 05 but at least do it with some style.

im not bias towards any of these two. but just accept it that the evo has more sporty looks than the rex and the rex is more like a bulky sports car.

Look at that evo, it looks like the engine is a barely contained beast desperate to leave the chassis

Hot, hot hot hot, even in that bad colour.

HOwever the evo in certain colours especially the earlier models can look too much like a "im a lancer with a fancy body kit" for my tastes

So did you order one yet??

In Conclusion:

Gc8, classic, aggressive,

Bugeye, name says it all

05 sti's, certainly attention grabbing and quite hot

06 sti's, Boring boring boring plain plain plain yawn yawn yawn

Evo's 8 and 9 = Hot hot hot in the right colours, interior is HUGE let down without leather, it almost defies belief.

The best interior I have ever seen was the integra type R, elegant, simple but sleek and beautiful, too bad the rear seats are impossible for anyone above 6 foot to sit in

CCNP first, almost there, but its my reward, gives me motivation

Got my bcran exam on friday.. jesus christ hardest damn course of the whole thing
