I can't read Japanese.  :lol:

That grey colour on the estate looks nice, and I like the BBS rims, but otherwise can't see what the fuss is about, looks wise.  It's not, IMO, a very stylish car at all.  Obviously it's still amazing from every other point of view!

I think the Evo sedan looks much better than the wagon. The wagon is cool (and wagons usually look cooler IMO), but in this case, the sedan looks visually more pleasing.

I want one. Wagon or sedan; it doesn't matter. Red, definitely.

A few days ago I checked if they are cheap as used cars. And they are cheaper than hoes from white-russia! But way more fun I guess!

They obviously cut off the end of a V70 and taped it to the Evo.

I want it.

The Mitsu wagon looks very poorly done...just kinda like "hey, we'll add this to the back"...it doesn't flow with the rest of the car, IMO.

The Evo, all in all, is not a good looking car.  Bad proportions (the roof is far too high, look at the RS version without the wing), bad styling, et al.  

But it's a kick in the pants to drive, and it goes like the clappers.

I think the wagon looks nice too, but they both look good to me.  The proportions arent great, but then theyre not supposed to be.  Its a rally car, not a italian sports car.
