:D

Anyone else own, or like this car?

(WRX to the late person) ;)

Personally, I like the Evo 8 better than the STi. It is a little bit bigger and i like the styling better. But, a year or two ago, we didn't have the Evo. But we had the WRX. That was a revolutionary car. It was moderatly priced, pretty good looking, fast and they handled good. Plus, they were all really comfertable inside, and thats what i look for in a car.

I prefer the EVO 8 too but that's off topic here... besides, I always dreamt of having one of these cars, so I definitely wouldn't mind a WRX either.

Oh ya I wouldn't mind having an EVO8... I just wanted to get away from Japanese cars for a while. The "Rice Burner" label got old quick.

But the EVO8 is also Japanese.

Mitsubishi is owned by Ford, but yeah, I still would think its a Japanese car. Unless you're reffering to Subaru, thats Japanese too, unless I totally missed something?

Mitsubishi is owned by ford? I thought they were independent. I know Chysler must own a little of Mitsubishi, because they have a mitsubishi engine in the SRT-4.

I'm almost sure that Mitsubishi is independant. The engine in the EVO8 is constructed by Mitsubishi.

Oh NO! I mixed up may "M"s last night! I'm sorry. I was thinking of Mazda. Yes, Mazda is owned by Ford. I'm terribly sorry :oops:

yes mitsubishi is owned partly by diamler-chrysler at about 27 or 30 percent i'm not sure what the number is so i might be wrong, and did you know the chrysler sebring is built on the mitsubishi eclipse platform? Theres something you learned today

Well, personally, I prefer the WRX STi but I wouldn't mind having an Evo VIII. The two are wonderful cars.

mitsubishi is owned partly by diamler-chrysler at about 27 or 30 percent i'm not sure what the number is so i might be wrong

i think the number is 37% :D

it is a japanese car.... wat did u think it is????

:D

mitsu is the election for me, i don´t like the whells of the wrx st, the evo has a better global look and rally history.

i dunno about u guys........but I'D TAKE BOTH <bwahahahahahaha :!: :!: :!: > :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

i really dunno what car you like, Maybe Ferrari F50? or the Lamborghini Diablo Roadster SV??
i dunno, givesome hints
BTW, anyone knows whats my favorite car?? :P :P

Sony also owns a section of Mitsubishi (mostly just the electronics part of it) so they influence decisions as well...

so why isnt there a sony stereo in the evo instead of the rockford :?: :?: :?:

Hey im new here but have been reading your guys stuff for a few months now. i just wanted to tell you guys that you have a good site. but for you WRX and EVO guys you should go to WWW.VIVIDRACING.COM they have all the stuff you could ever imagine about those cars.

Capital Lento i really hope you didnt mean what you said that the evo has a better "rally" rep. than the Sti. As far as rally and performance goes the sti pretty much owns the evo in every aspect of performance. faster 0-60, faster 1/4, and pulls more g's. suburu is after all the king of rally.

so true si trbo so true, WRX is KING of rally , yes yes, ownz all on the road

that ture but mitsubishi is king of the paris-dakhar 8)

yeah sti are cool

Sorry about the language one this one:
http://img31.exs.cx/img31/6185/untitled765.jpg

this guy is really good about bringing up year old topics and making one-liner comments about it. its annoying.

If he's gunna go through all of those pages, he should at least make a pretty good post. That would make it somewhat tolerable.

Actually guys, Mitsubishi is now completely independent after DC dumped them a few months back.

They'll be pretty independent of selling in the US if they don't get their corporate life and crappy models under control VERY soon.

But, what's Mitsubishi's importance in an STi thread?

More importantly is SpeedMuse's usage of a Princess Bride reference! :D

yeah sti are cool

ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhaha hahsahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahah













wait im not done yet...ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahaha


ok sorry i had to do that.


i love the fact that all of you have enough time to take frames from a movie, put it in photoshop, make it say something really whitty, then post it in the forum.

lets not forget making me a time line. (thanks its now my desktop wallpaper)




oh yeah and thank you mondeo cosworth. for not being a dick. you dont dwell on the age of the topic- you state your opinion.
keep up the good work.

and hey to matt.




and for the rest of you............ if your not gonna talk about cars......get a life.....pricks.

NNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!
JIM stop stealing my images :evil:

999-I got those pictures from another site and just had them.

And by saying:
yeah sti are cool
only that and saying we don't talk cars...Man, MY MORNING PISS TAKES LONGER. :lol:

So just realize you brought this on yourself when you brought up quite possibly the most covered topic on this site with a simple FOUR WORD answer to an ELEVEN MONTH OLD TOPIC. :P

No offense, just look at the first page next time ok? :P

Id prefer an STi. Subaru's are known for being more endurable than Mitsubishi. If I understand correctly, Mitsubishi has been reputed for having a lot of electronical problems.

Also, I thought the SRT-4 was a dodge neon engine with a mitsubishi lancer turbo?

the wrx is a hot 4 banger. I love it. I'd also prefer it over the evo8.

If I'm not mistaken, GM has a 1/3 share of Subaru, so I guess then Subaru is not a 'Japanese' car then?

Thats true, its the only reason the saabaru apeared because GM forced them

Mitsubishi is owned by Ford, but yeah, I still would think its a Japanese car. Unless you're reffering to Subaru, thats Japanese too, unless I totally missed something?

Mitsubishi is not owned by Ford. Chrysler does own about 37 percent of it though but yeah its still pretty much idependant of them.

i think the number is 37% :D

Sony also owns a section of Mitsubishi (mostly just the electronics part of it) so they influence decisions as well...

I think were talking about the Mitsubishi Motor company not all the other stuff they do, eg. electronics (phones, tvs, monitors) and other things. on a side note Mitsubishi electronics have a 200cm rear projection tv with a built in sound system for 20 000 american dollars.

Subaru is an australian car. Or that's where it originated from. Definately not japanese.

Really? Subaru is an Australian car??
Never knew that.

Subaru Outback? lol Outback is an australian thing. But yeah, it's australian, and a damn good car too.

Subaru Outback? lol Outback is an australian thing. But yeah, it's australian, and a damn good car too.

WTF? Subaru isn't Australian? What kinda stuff have you been reading? Please explain...

Subaru is from Japan, and it seems everyone knows that except you.

Subaru is from japan go to the link..

Subaru Outback? lol Outback is an australian thing. But yeah, it's australian, and a damn good car too.

You thought Subaru was an Australian car company because one of their cars is named after a place in Australia?

By that unbelievable logic, think of all the place names we could pin on manufacturers:

Buick Park Avenue
Buick Rainier
Chevrolet Colorado
Chevrolet Malibu
Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Chevrolet Tahoe
Chrysler Sebring
Dodge Durango
GMC Sonoma
GMC Yukon (is GMC's headquarters in the Yukon these days?)
GMC Yukon/Sierra Denali
Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai Tiburon
Hyundai Tucson
Kia Sedona
Mercury Monterey
Pontiac Bonneville
Pontiac Montana
Subaru Baja
Suzuki Forenza (Suzuki's true corporate headquarters: Italy)
Suzuki Verona
Toyota Avalon
Toyota Sequoia
Toyota Tacoma

Lovely job.

Hahah I can fully see his logic though. Outback...you automatically associate it with Australia I guess. But a costly mistake; you are going to be hounded with that remark as long as I stay here.

Just wanted to add that Outback is not an actual Place in Australia. Its just a slang term we use.

The only way to find out is to wait for SubaruKid37

Subaru is all japanese but they have a big market out here
Toyota Avalon. The car i can tell you now is no where near heavenly

Eh, people make mistakes OBX. No need to be rude about it.

No I just looked, it's japanese. But that's okay, OBX's witticism is far from amusing and pretty instigating. He needs to learn social coping skills. Of course he's going to refute being socially inept or offensive, because he most likely suffers from a bruised ego problem. You can tell by his offensive behavior from a first meeting. Feels like he has to prove his knowlege in a condescending way.

Tell me something, OBX: Do your parents talk down to you often? Insinuate that you are less intelligent? Do your friends make fun of you for being wrong sometimes? Do you dwell on your mistakes? Have you contemplated suicide? Or did your mother not give you enough hugs as a child? Maybe you are hard on yourself when you make mistakes, or have high, unrealistic self expectations that you always seem to fall short on. It doesn't matter what you say, you can refute my questions or answer them however you want. It's not the answer you give, it's how you answer that tells who you are underneath.

People think they hide their secrets well, but they wear it all on their shoulders.

Sometimes people with an inferiority complex have low self esteem, immature social skills, and tend to be offensive. Try to be a little more nice, you'll get better responses from people, my friend.

They're kind of expensive used though.

damn :shock: thats one ugly car, but i'm not one to say anything, because i think the bonneville gxp looks awesome

damn :shock: thats one ugly car,

Are you ****ing with me!? Look at those five spokes! What are those, sixteens? Yum

but i'm not one to say anything, because i think the bonneville gxp looks awesome

I would agree with you, but I haven't seen one yet. Bonnevilles are sexy though, one of my friends has an SSEi with chrome alloys and it's pretty nice.

Hhahahaha the Avalon was Toyotas biggest mistake in Australia ever. The conservitive styling, harsh ride, and granny turismo concept screwed it.

:smt043 thats hilarious

Hhahahaha the Avalon was Toyotas biggest mistake in Australia ever. The conservitive styling, harsh ride, and granny turismo concept screwed it.

Australia really should get the Toyota Matrix.

Avalon does nicely here with the elderly crowd, though they typically buy from a premium brand so it doesn't do very nicely. I've only ever seen one in full-spec.

I saw an Avalon the other day with modded alloys and spoiler....
:lol: he should have spent his hard-earned cash elsewhere.

Its all toyota's fault for launching the Model with a bunch of retirees. Now every avalon on the road reminds me of some old pensioner with a walking stick and drive with thier heads 2cm higher than the steering wheel

But i have to say, the Avlon is a perfect taxi. Its reliable (since its a Toyota), its quite big and being a FWD there's no axle below the boot so BIG BOOT.

No, my friend. I did not. I'm a psychology major.

--On another note, I saw this Oldsmobile (mid 1980's) at my local Stop N' Shop grocery store, I guess the kid works there, I see it often in the parking lot. Anyways, the car is a crappy grey, rusted around the wheel wells, paint bubbling and flaking off, the windshield looks like it was sandblasted...and wait... get this... it has an aluminum rear-mounted racing spoiler. I don't know what this kid is thinking, or what he was on when he was thinking it was a good idea... but damn... that's worse than putting a spoiler on a civic or any other FWD drive car.

I'm going to take a photo of it and post it for you guys

No, my friend. I did not. I'm a psychology major.

It's called a mistake. Get over it. Everyone else has.

You still jaw flapping about this? What are you? 12? And right now I'm going to college for it. University when I am getting my masters. Enough said. I've talked enough useless chatter already. If you have a problem with me, you know my E-mail address and my online screen names, these people don't need to see your unsurmounted annoying behavior.
