Default Mitsubishi EVO 7??? WHAT YOU ALL THINK????

Ok I love my audi, but seriously we all have to think about this...Mitsubishi Evo 7 coming to american probably this year, as 2003 model! 276 hp all wheel drive. Road and track did a review of it and said basically its badass and rivals super perfomance cars for under 40!! I dont know about you all but next time around when I'm looking for a car, I'm going to at least test drive it!! What do you all think??

Default it will be more like $30k

I could easily ditch the luxory of my A4 for the bad-***-ness of an Evo 7 for $30k....I'm not crazy about the exterior, but I like it enough. I imagine the mods will be fairly cheap like most japanese cars, but I'm nto sure I would touch it if it does a low 13 sec 1/4 stock anyway.

The only problem is that I plan to build a house this summer, so a new car is most likely out of the question. We'll see. The release date is December for this car. I will at least go out and tease myself with a a test drive.

Default i like a lot of things about it. i dont like the rear fenders though.

thats my biggest gripe. saw a wide body rally version of the car last weekend and that makes the car. so put a kit on it and i'm sold!

Default while I enjoy the benefits of a high strung 4 banger, I think I'm going to need a NA V6 next

I want something I can get in, turn on, and get on it if I feel like. Don't want to have to worry about the additional things associated with turbo charged cars that can go wrong with costly fixes. As a main every day car, my next choice is going to be something NA i think.

If I have the ability to have a second car, a tweaked out turbo charged car would be the pick. Soemthing I didn't have to drive every day because it was my only ride.
