Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2008 versus Lancer Evolution X... THE MATCH !
Here it is, finally and exclusively on NihonCar.com, one of or probably THE most anticipated Japanese sportscars matchup of the year: the everlasting battle between two kings of rally stages over the last decades; the Subaru Impreza WRX STi versus the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X!

Over the past few years we had the privilege to test drive some pretty amazing and exclusive cars by each of those two manufacturers, for example the Impreza with the longest name ever: the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec-C Type RA-R produced at only 300 units and the excellent Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 Wagon, only produced at 2000 units.
Evos and WRXs always had their very own feel and character, making each one very easy to identify once behind the wheel but we also always struggled to designate a CLEAR winner in all those confrontations...the first thing you need to know here is that, once again, we had a hard time choosing which one was the winning machine. The second thing is: do these cars still deserve to be called "sportscars"? Don't worry, here come the explanations. Read Article

The EVO-X captures a certain 'something' (a look, a feel... ???) that I expect from 'rally cars or the road' that the (rather dowdy looking STI) can't match, so I agree that it's the better of the two.

I will say that the 5-door WRX is far better looking than its sedan sibling, but the EVO is a much more cohesive and pleasant design than either.

Didn't we have an article showing the weight of the American Evo X? I think the weight on that version was about 3500 lbs, right? This Japanese one is about 3100 lbs, however.

That website had the weight listed as 1420 kg, which is about 3130 lbs.
