Excellent! A man after my own heart-- why choose, when you can have it all!

Better deal, good reliability record with last 5 Subarus, performance potential of the 08, financing, and $5000 off.

i would have both if i had the money. each car would have its purpose. both would be high HP and be street legal.

Bottom line it's a Subaru....but really you can't beat the boxer engine, the great fit and finish. Subaru's reputation!

I think you should go drive both cars and make a decision... its what you wanna drive and if you are buying either car new, as long as you take care of them, you wont have reliability issues unless you get a bad car from the factory. I have read horror stories from both ends on both forums and I doubt you will have issues if you go new. I drove an 08 STi for 2 days and test drove an EVO X GSR and test drove several 06 EVOs before I made a decision. Neither 08 cars totally impressed me as they both have been toned down from their previous iterations. I am so happy and lucky I found an 06 EVO IX MR with 10k miles on the clock, stock and immaculate. I had an 07 STi for one year and liked the car but after I drove an 06 EVO, it really grew on me and after learning more about the car on the EVO forums, I decided to make the switch. Well good luck with whatever you choose.

Just cant beat the sound of this car. I hear one rumbling from a 1/4 mile away and my ears perk up.
