Not that I have the money, but does anyone know of a comparo test of these two done by any magazines or programs yet? Not counting in japan since I can't read Japanese. When you are spending 30K on a car, I guess 34K isn't that much more but I know everyone is curious how they will stack up against eachother.

Alot of reasons.
1. The AWD in the STI is adjustable and more durable. The AWD in the EVO has been downgraded to come over to save costs.
2. More hp and alot more torque in the STI.
3. 6sp. tranny in the STI.......5sp. in the EVO
4. Stronger tranny in the STI also.
5. THe STI is astheticlly nicer looking
6. Did I mention it has more POWER????
