Came across this pic in the GT-R forum I'm a member of :) not sure what it's all about, maybe national automotive pride...

Great shot of all 3 new models of their halo muscle cars in white - nice backdrop too :)

I dare say, a scary sight for all Euro and U.S and other hi-po car manufacturers, these things can chew up anything in their respective classes and beyond :)

Agree, but I also wouldn't mind one of each or at least 2 of em :)

Now lets see, I'll take a white Sti for the every ride and a red GT-R for weekend pony tail brand snob bashing :D :D

EVO looks great.. but from that angle, it doesn't look much better than Lancer VRXs

gotta see it in the flesh..

hmmmmmm EVO or 135i :)

even though I know the STi is more capable, but can't get over the looks.. like the ugly chic who is awesome in the bedroom...

LOL good one :)

Agree with your comment on the Evo...did you see the pics I put up on the Melb. Motor show thread ?? check out the Ralliart Lancer, looks almost the same as the Evo, 177kw - 343nm MIVEC - Evo 9 mechanicals, also with an SST option, priced at low to mid 40's, IMHO this is the pick of the bunch of the new Lancers...

As for the Sti, you need to see it in the flesh, it looks heaps better than any pics, I like it alot, one thing it has going for it IMO is perfect sizing, it's just the right size and it's driving performance/ability is hard to turn away from, I could definitely see myself with one, all these other newer cars are getting too big and bulky, the new Lancers are all too boofy IMO, but if you need all that extra space, it's a goer :)

Thats a bad angle for the STi - saw them at the motor show and they look a lot better than the WRX with the flared arches.

I think I'd choose the Subie - but I'm biased. ;)

Between the 2 rally rockets there, so would I and I'm not being biased :)

I'm sure alot of other people will have a change of mind on the Sti when they actually see one in the flesh ;) and I'm sure after they drive one, they'll be an instant admirer/fan too :)
