I keep revisiting this site expecting.. (well now, not expecting) new info and pics about the 08STi..

I visit the Evo X websites often and theres a lot more action going on about the X in those forums. Like the X being sold there in dealers.. I wish Suby would release more things about the 08STi to keep up with Mitsu.

I wonder how many months after the X the STi will go on sale?

I thinks its possible a lot of people will buy the X first because they can't wait for the Suby to come out to see it in person. Suby could lose a lot of sales to Mitsu.

I personally think the Suby will look freaking awesome in person.. so aggresive with those fender flares and those 275 width tires.. well not 275 but you get the point. I just hope it keeps the unequal flat four sound and kicks ass in the HP department..

Good!! When and if I buy the 08 it would be that much MORE "special"...
Subaru knows what it"s doing.......In the Marketing dept. And if the 08 Runs and Handles strong......Which I gotta feeling it will.....Look-out.

supposedly we're going to get some new info on the 10th.

That would be Great!.....More to think about....We should have a poll: ~Will the 08 Sti be Superior to the 07"s?~ ( power-handling). I think Yes...I have read some think it will be the same.

those are the same people that have a new car every 8 months anyway. we're not talking about a $5,000 civic here, we're talking about 35,000 supercars. people will get what they want.

i have no fear that subaru is going to go out of business because it loses a few sales of their most premium american car to mitsubishi.

Where is this extra info on the Evo X? I'm curious, although not overly

that its engine is similar to the neon srt-4

suby sales will always be higher than mitsu, the new sti is prob gonna kick the evo x's ass.
i just have a feeling it's going to be more than expected.

Suby has x amount of new 07 STi's on dealer lots, so too much info on the 08's would cause a drop in price of the 07's because the "bigger, better" replacement is out there = Suby loosing money.

I keep looking for new pic's at least once a day also. With the Tokyo auto show starting 3 weeks from now I'd hope we'll see some sneak preview pics soon.

I don't know if this is old news, but it is new to me. The Evo X will be slower than previous generations. See link below for spec sheet (Evo X). I am hoping SUBARU don't do the same to the new STI (straight line that is).

Tested: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR - Previews - Car and Driver November 2007

Uhmmm, did you really just utter the "S" word when talking about an Evo and a Scooby? Excellent handling cars, but not even close to Supercar status...I owned an R34 GTR and it's alot more car than a Scoob or an Evo on the big end, alot rarer and it isnt a Supercar...

okay..maybe super car was a slight exageration. but the point i was trying to make is clear. if the ONLY reason you get an evo X over a new STI is because you can't wait, i think you're wasting your money and not researching your vehicles.

Right you are. It's a factory-backed hot rod version of a very famous and popular rally car, based on a mid-level economy sedan. It may be able to whup on certain so-called "super" cars at the track, but that does not make it a supercar.
