one more thing:
to counter above-arguments:
the evo and Sti are feckin hideous in my opinon, which is a big deal when owning a car and having to look at it every day for long periods
yes, the performance is much better than the CSVT, but the contour's styling is sweet enough for me to get over that.
That's obviously just my opinion, but i HATE the look of both the Sti and the evo
