I seriously don't like the front bumper design! They should keep the evo 7 look instead cause it is much much better. Everything else is good to me!

Yea, I don't really like the front end either. At least it looks like the WRC car though. I'm going to LA this weekend. I hope it's still there. Did they let you sit in it?

The show goes until Sunday. The Yellow evo you can't sit in. But the red one is on the floor so you can sit in it .

From what I can see the US evos are missing some hp, active center diff, Different rear diff, 6 speed tranny.

I really like the Evo VIII in red. My favorite is still the Evo VII in red, second choice is white.

I can't wait to see the STI Impreza this weekend.

I thought the show ran all the way 'til Friday...or did you mean they will display the Evo til Sunday? I hope you're wrong cause I'm planning on going tommorow. Traffics going to be a mess with the Lakers playing tommorow night but it'll be worth it

The new Evo 8 just doesn't look very aggressive anymore. The VII in my oppinion looks so much better.....but i bet the 8 has more powerr and quicker 1/4. Aat least I hope it does, but anyways the new Evo really looks like crap!

And the new STi is da bomb! I love it and wish I could trade my car in for one!

EVO is not made to look pretty. Just like the WRX. It is made to kick *** and take names.

yeah but the wrx can be made to look good while its doing its *** kicking and name taking. my personal opinion is i don't see what kinda things can make the evo 7 & 8 look better. i mean i love the evo 4,5,6 and the evo 7 hood reminds me of the old days of evo's, other than that it looks too long, kinda unproportional, front end looks like an accord with a body kit, and the wheels look really small on the car (vw ish). i mean i'm sure it will still do a fine job of destroying other cars but i just think they shoulda kept more from the prior lancers. my $.02
