V9 WRX or Evo 8?

So I may be coming into the market for a new car in the next few months and have decided on either an evo Rs (or used GSR =/ ) or a new wrx. It'll have to be a daily driver and weekend toy. Before I got my wrx I was looking at evos but decided I'd save a few bucks and buy a low milage wrx. I have no complaints about my wrx, but I feel it's about time to move on.

What do you guys think?

Oops, forgot the poll:

1.) Buy a new EVO RS

2.) Buy an 06 WRX

3.) Keep the 03

4.) Buy an srt-4

5.) Buy a low milage GSR

keep with subaru...
otherwise you may end up with a Pontiac Grand Am as your daily driver while your EVO is in the shop for warranty work.

I agree with Soggy... When I saw the first pics of the 06 STI on the net I thought it was butt-ugly, but I changed my mind once I saw it in person. I think it's real puurty now!

how about... keep the bugeye and swap an '04 or '05 sti motor into it? if done properly, you would have a smog legal 300hp bugeye.

Too many options =/

I really like the look of the 06 too, better brakes, interior and 17"wheels are a plus too. I don't plan on doing a ton of mods either, just basic bolt ons. Exhaust, springs, swaybar and of course tires.

keep the bugeye and get an evo.

why not have both?

theres a reason why the evo is top 5 of the time attack cars in japan.
unfotunately even with zero sports being the top suby tuner, they havent been able to beat the evos in time attack.

the jun super lemo posted a 58 sec time on tskuba whereas the evos are hitting into the 55's

i love my suby but you cant deny the awesome potential of an evo.
***shakes head and awaits for subarus response***

The only thing I really can't stand about the evo is the interior. I think the seats in my bugeye look better than those hideous things.

it needs 2 quarts of oil on the ground underneath it to be factual.

get the evo rs seeing as how its pretty dam fast, or just spend some money to make you 03 nicer. srt is cheapo, 06 is sorta too similar to your current car to go through the trouble for a new car, and a gsr is nice but i mean a evo rs is nicer haha.
