And as far as quality is concerned, I was talking about Mitsu's ability to build a performance engine that can be modified without blowing up. They have been building economy cars forever...they should stick to that.
And cmon guys...look at the two pics above. The Subaru is a genuine car with genuine good looks....the wings is ugly, but that can be easily removed  The Evo looks like some 16 yr old RICER got a hold of it and turned it into the Bat-Mobile. But I guess thats why the Evo appeals to a lot of people...the RICER look is the "in" thing to have right now....

Another one, completely clueless.
The Evo 8 is still an Evolution. It's not a suped up Lancer. It is NOT converted from 2WD to AWD. Period. End of story.
Reliabilty on performance enhancements to Mitsu's engine? Have you ever heard of the 4g63? Probably one of the most reliable, upgradable engines EVER. Know what a DSM is? Know what kind of power you can get from them? SAME ENGINE!
About the looks...well, at least our 16yr old kid knew how to put a functional hood on, and a wing that doesn't flap in the wind past 50mph.
