Default just got back from the auto show..i liked it

i dont care about concept cars. i got to play with a b6 s4. blue with black and blue alcantara/leather and full recaros all the way around. SO nice. r32 was there. pretty neat car. vw also had a v10 tdi toureg there. man do i want one of those. 500 some odd footpounds of torque, full adjustable suspension, awesome interior. i'd take one in a heartbeat. sat in an sti and an evo. the evo's interior KILLS the sti's. MUCH better seats, better steering wheel, and it didnt rattle. i HATE rattles in cars. the sti was like a tin can. mb had an e55 there. best car there imo. best seats in the show. that car was SLAMMED. 6pot breaks up front. alcantara EVERYWHERE. i want one BAD. if i wanted a nice big luxury cruiser with oodles of power, it would be that. bmw had an e46 m3 with smg. very cool. all in all i had a great time. i say spend the 9 bucks and check it out. didnt see many concepts, but i wasnt looking for them. sorry i dont have any pics. wasnt planning on going. i was at asw and decided to swing by

Default I am going today

going to bring the wife and kid. This one is a shopping trip as we plan to replace the wife's 330 this summer. need to find a replacement. Cayanne and X5 are likely candidates, with b6 S4 avant in the running. Have to use the autoshow to see what else is out there. Who knows, maybe I can convice her to drive the allroad and I'll find a used M5 or something...

Default you're the first one i've ever heard say that about the sti vs evo interiors

A friend of mine has an evo which I've driven quite a few times, and even she agrees with me. I've also driven lots of WRXs, but only sat in STIs. I think the seats are better in the evo, but overall the interior in the STI is much better quality. Evo feels like a flimsy piece of plastic, and very cheap in comparison. Well I guess you can't be the only one who thinks this way, since I see as many evos on the road as I see STIs :-)

I sat in both today at the show and I liked the Evo's seats better.

Default just wasnt impressed with the sti at all

i dunno...i'm big on cars being solid. both cars had their fair share of plastic, but the sti felt better. felt solid. didnt rattle. good steering wheel. great seats. i really want to drive one, get out of it into the other. doubt that will ever happen. oh well. i dont plan on buying either any time soon.
