I'm too lazy to search but what are the official performance numbers for this?

ew that silver hole-punched trim inside of the tail lamps is f'ing disgusting. how did that get through the design process?
i like how companies are starting to break up the front grill area.

You can buy the new Dodge Caliber SRT-4 300-hp for prolly 2/3 the price of the EVO-X, and yep you guessed it, the EVO shares the chassis with the Caliber. Much like in the past Eclipse\Talon.....Eclipse\Stratus...one in the same.
Anyway...not for me, had an '95 eclipse GS-T, fun *** car, but came with its loads of problems, I won't even get started, plus love my freakin 8!

The caliber is a completely different car, the SRT-4 version will not even be AWD. YES, there is an AWD option for the Caliber but the SRT-4 will be FWD only.

Have you seen any prototypes of the next STi?

My cousin has an MR and I am not impressed. I whooped his *** in my friends stock STI and his evo has a type S blow off and turbo XS boost controller. Also, he had a regular EVO befor ethis one so he knows how to drive an evo. The launch in this car sucks compared to the Subie. This new EVO resembles a Galant way too much for a mid 30k car. I would rather have the ralliart eclipse.
even the ralliart galant is cool

Nicer profile than past Evos, but that front end is awful. Very busy. Would I trade my 8 for it? Never. Second car? Probably not, cuz I already have two cars and I always pick my 8 first. The Evo would just collect dust.
