My local autoshow had both the STI and the EVO, and IMHO the picutres of the new STI do not do it justice. In person the car is very sweet looking. You don't really get a good view of the subtle styling details like you do in person. The new front end brings back the agressive look that has been missing since the GC8 body style. The WRC style wing will turn a lot of heads. The brembo brake calipers and rotors are hugs and are quite visible through the BBS wheels. The interior definately got a step up from the 02-03 WRX. The only thing I am not too sure of is the new hood scoop. It is really quite large. I'm not sure if I like how far above the hood it sticks up. Other than that this car is awsome looking. The rep. said to expect a mid 30's price tag (ouch).

As for the EVO - it looks very nice, but it felt like it was kind of cheaply made - nowhere near as solidly built as the STI. I almost got the feeling that they made manufacturing sacrafices to get it under 30K.
