the viii has less hp, lacks ayc and acd,

)One thing that makes the VIII better is that it will be US distribution where previous mitsu performance was not in this class...
Personally, I think the rear quarter panels look too big for the wheel well...
Since I do not follow the Mitsu much I would ask:
Where is the HP lost? High RPM or through entire power band?
Where is the Torque?
Re: ACD and AYC... Agreed - this is a glaring lack - but see above comments on US Distro... At least something is coming.
Off topic...
What I hate (strong words) is the assumption by the rest of world until now that the American market couldn't handle the performance of the JDM... I know emissions and Octane are reasons to not ship a factory turn key racer, but the rest of the EVO and STi package is very much in demand. The Germans do the same thing with the Euro spec M3 and AMG's but at least what they do send has been coming for years rather than a year...
I'm so excited, I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it! (or something like that).
I hope the car is priced around the low $30K. Luckily, most Americans won't pay that much for a compact and those who are willing won't have that kind of money. Hey Alex, will the STI owners get their own forum

I don't agree with the complaint about the STI price. At $30K what are you going to get that is anywhere close to the performace car that the WRX STi will be? IMHO, nothing out there is in the same class. The WRX is not a small car in today's market either. If one reads the published specs for available cars, one would see that most cars are not any bigger and most are much smaller than the Impreza, at least inside. When you consider all the go fast goodies that the STi includes as standard, it is a bargain. The Brembo brakes, 6 speed tranny, 300 hp engine and more, make it a bargain. Just try modifying a WRX or an Impreza RS to match that performance and you'll see many $K's flying away wh9ile leaving you with something much less than the sum of the parts compared with the factory made, stock, under warranty car. No, there is little doubt that $30K is cheap. I'm afraid it will come in higher rthan that. Still, as soon as my dealer takes deposits I'm ordering one

The STi, Evo, and R32 aren't for everyone, nor should they be, but they are a bargain.
I'm trying to get my wife to like the Evo and/or WRX STi... we'll see how it goes!

Sti Colors(wheels/body)
I wonder if anyone knows the color options on the Sti...?
I would prefer NOT to drive a blue Suby as they are quite common and (no flaming intended) I don't like gold rims personally. I understand the idea of tradition and all. I just want to know if the Sti is going to be treated like the 22b and done in a singular, commemoritive color or will we have color options?
Plus, gold Brembo's??? WTF?
Sti/Evo...???
