    Just to clarify, the Mitsubishi in the article (and the picture) is not the MIEV concept - it's the new Evo 9.

    It is a great picture I don't have a scanner, otherwise I'd try to get a decently-sized version for you.

    That picture is pretty awesome.

    In this article, which Impreza are they comparing the MIEV to? I'd be really interested to read it.

    I think I saw that article when reading mags in the book store the other day. IRRC the EVO won in almost every aspect except for handling.

    Try and read it here: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=2908

    The next concept Evo should be called the XXX. One for eXperimental, another X as in ten in roman numeral, and the third X for AWD

    I did read this. As i wish that the comparison was done with points. Like the viper vs. corvette article. But in my own opinion i believe the EVO 9 is better. Not positive on what the magazine said and i don't feel like reading it agian.

    Motor did a test like that on the release DAY of the evo nine. they took a STI to the release track of the evo, and tested them.

    they said that the EVO was faster on track by a small margin, but he was glad to be taking the STI home.

    The scans were up on the STi forum but someone from Road & Track made them take it down because it was a copyrite violation.
