Good finds.. the Edmunds guys wrung it out a lot better than the MT guys..

I'm surprised at the Evo X's numbers.. 5.4s 0-60 and 14 flat in the 1/4?! Damn. I mean, not slow but.. still, I'd expect better. My old girl will do 0-60 in 4.9 with a perfect launch (not sidestepping.. I actually know how to drive :D). I've never gone drag racing (yet) but I'd be willing to bet mid-13s.

The new STI is softer, we saw that at the auto-x, but the numbers seem very good. Although I always suspected that the previous STI's stock rubber handicapped it in those tests.

All the helper gadgets and traction control is not my scene, but it's good that at least they left in the old DCCD modes.

And still.. for me.. the altezzas must go.

Now that's what I've been saying for the past few months. It might be an ugly duckling, but it's a mean goose.
