Anyone see Top gear last night ?


EVO VIII vs SCOOBY STi

Nothing between it except stig almost beat the Zonda round the track.


If given the choice which would you choose a scooby or a EVO ?

I know most of you like me would rather slit there throats that run around in either of these but this isnt a perfect world so hypothetically which would you have?

Evo if only because the scooby has that huuuge air scoop on the bonet...

Looking at the results I'm the only one that would take the Scooby so far!

Have to be the Evo.

I only like cars that end in '8'...

:)

I'm with Morgan but I don't like either of them

Biased opinion as Ive got one (STi) and seem to be one of the few here who like AWD rally specials.

Having driven both Evos and Scoobys, the Evo is the ultimate for handling and the track but the Scooby is much better day to day and has more character IMHO.

For info, the new Impreza STi is also known as the STi8 so morgan you are OK to like it now.

Neither for me, very obvious aggresive styling and not all all nice to look at. Cannot argue with the performance though.

To keep this tread in-topic would just say that I much prefer the look of the 8 and am sometimes suprised that those buying the 8 would even consider them as they seem worlds apart as cars.

I think the cars do crossover in their value for money. The scooby and evo are supercar performance for reasonable money and the RX8 is a combination of decent performance and good looks for the price. If the scooby wasn't so ugly I would have gone for that as performance is something I value highly (which is why I was disappointed in the RX8's loss of bhp and slowdown in 0-60 time.)

Evo. The performace is really close, and the Evo is a good deal cheaper. Plus, the Subaru hood bulge just looks absurd, and you can get the Evo from the factory with a small subtle wing instead of the big ricey one.

Also, I wish they'd kept the big "EVOLUTION" sign on the back of the trunk like the J-spec Evos have.

Over here the top spec Evo is more expensive than the top spec Impreza.

i'd rather take the bus

That's because you guys get ACD and AYC as well as more power...
