haha... so true! And also, it's about who you know and what you know!
So pick which car you want and drive off. Does it make a difference?

[QUOTE=doughboy]whereas they wouldnt rank the STi in civic category? 
the WRX is already being called the "new civic"...what makes the STi different from the Evo in that respect?

Sorry, the WRX is being called the new Integra GSR, and the type R is the STI.. that's what I've heard... as if it matters anyway. I'm just saying the EVO looks overdone like an inner-city Civic. IMO, the STI wing does look tacky, and makes the STI look lower-class than an S4, for one example.
My other point is this:
Impreza:
Base strippo= $18k
WRX= $23k (5k over base model)
STI= $28 (10k over base model)
Neon:
Base strippo= $11k (you can't even get a civic that cheap)
SRT Turbo=$21k (10k over base model)
Lancer:
Base strippo= $12k (you can't even get a civic that cheap)
EVO= $28k ($16k over base...congrats to their marketing people!)
The EVO is based on an ugly, $12k platform! How could you let your neighbors see that in your driveway? 99% of your neighbors would think you've become a ricer.
Edit- oh, and don't give me any of that, "who cares what people think,"BS. We wouldn't have i-club if we didn't care.

There's a road and track article that compares the two cars that you may want to take a look at:

The Sti and Evo are almost identical in the 1/4 mile. The Evo definitely takes the Sti in the turns. The Evo is now about $5000 cheaper than the Sti. But I would still take the Sti because the Evo's are already starting to have many problems. The road and track article is good! They picked the Evo.

As for the comments referring to base prices and such I did sit and try to work out the rational behind that post and really cannot think where that came from, baseless crap comes to mind... figures are meaningless as a comparision of performance i.e a base Ford Escort in the UK was 8K (Pounds) and the Cosworth was 31k, they both have the same Ford Escort badge but that's about it.
The EVO is not a body kitted Lancer, the whole chassis is modified from the ground up it may bare the lancer family name but that is it.
