While both these cars a little ricey for me, and being not German, the Evo is NOT a Lancer converted to AWD. Don't let the "Lancer" in the name fool you. It's like comparing Armani suits with Wal-Mart. The car has been in Japan and Europe for many years. It's just now come to the US. It's in high demand, that's why the dealers are so "proud" of them.
The STi is not in it's first year. It's in it's first year in America, the car has been around for a long time as well. Why do you think these things were so anticipated over here? However, the only thing against the STi is that it came to America with a 2.5L engine, the Japanese car is a 2.0. 300 HP was a big number for Subaru when they brought this car over. The Evo however, is very close to the Japanese version of the car, from what I've read.
I love the STi myself, while not a big japanese car fan, that is one awsome looking machine. The Evo is ugly as sin.
I'll take my M3 over either of them though.
