The Evo vs. STi poll results!

The poll has closed, and the results are in. Before announcing the winner I'd like to thank the 9 people who voted. Without you it would have been nothing if not horribly biased. And now, to the results!

Coming in last place with ZERO votes is the 04-05 STi.

In 4th place with ONE vote is the Evo VIII

Loved by many, voted for by almost none

3rd place goes to the Evo IX

Looks slightly better than the VIII to me, but just barely.

Coming in second is...

NOTHING!

Why?

CAUSE THERE IS A TIE FOR FIRST!

Garnering 33% of the vote each are the 06-07 STi AND the other option, which judging by the comments is the 08 STI!

What have we learned? Well, nothing to be honest. Only 9 people voted so we can't draw any real, hard, scientific conclusions.

Nothing scientific, but I can go ahead and declare that the 06+ STI's are the ultimate rally machines available in the US of A right now!

Evo vs. STi

On Utah Hondas we're having a debate about which is better, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or the Subaru WRX STi. We're talking about the Evo VIII & IX and the 04-07 STi's, not the Evo X and STI hatchback. The ones that are reasonably priced, and more readily available.

I'm squarely in the STi camp. I think the 06-07 STi's look better than the Evo and they sound amazing. Others say I'm wrong and say the Evo IX is the more beautiful rally box and sounds better because it doesn't "sound like a blown up Honda".

I've had the pleasure of shooting and riding in both, so I'm going to post up my favorite shots of each and then let you pick your homologization special. Feel free to explain your choice as a comment. Let the battle continue!
