Look what is starting to arrive at US dealers!

I'm so excited, but I kinda hope they don't rave about them much more than they do the current models or I'll have to buy one sooner than I had planned :D
Luke, I'm your father https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...id=56356&stc=1 |
looks more edgy like the evo......I like it but that wing has got to go.

Badass!

No it looks like ASS..........

I dunno Ike. I'm sure the looks will grow on me, but if I'm in the market for an STi I'll go cash in hand looking to corner a good deal on an '05 once I see the first '06 models arrive on the lot. You'll get a good price and the same performance. All the other stuff they've added is very minor IIRC. On the other hand the new Evo IX is supposed to have a bump in midrange and highend power because of the bigger turbo and MIVEC (V.V.T. ) heads. Of course the same applies to the deals you could score on an '05 Evo once the '06 models begin trickling in.

I think you need a bigger exhaust to finnish off the rice look...
|
Is it the pic, or did the wing get bigger???

I'm sorry but if they had an evo9 in canada, I would make it my winter beater. First thing I'd do is ditch the spoiler.

https://images.google.ca/url?q=http:...505_evo9_1.jpg BTW...Ike nothing looks better than black when it's clean but it's like pushing a boulder up a hill to keep it shining. I had a black '02 Spec V and it was a never ending battle. Every ding, chip, scrape or scratch was almost as bad as a swift kick to the balls.:mad: |

I have no Idea why they don't sell it here but it's a shame. Maybe I should just buy one under my moms name in atlanta and bring it here. Then I could make all the wannabe evos drool(we only get the lancer here). |

It's hard to argue with that |

BTW...I saw a Lancer OZ on Saturday that had an Evo 8 hood and a Pep Boys ricer wing. The driver also an MR sticker on the trunk lid. Poor bastard. I blame his friends. |

I prefer the STI's new headlights over the 05. Actually it's a very nice redesign.

It's crossed my mind, that thought and the nice improvements on the WRX for 06 have kept me from pulling the trigger on a 9-2X Aero for the last couple months. Maybe I should just find a beater pickup for $500 :p Now the thing that might keep me from buying an 06 WRX or STi is that it's supposed to get a full redesign for '07 and there are rumors of it being a hatchback. |
