I've only owned 1 Japanese car (Acura Legend,) and it was great. It was totalled though . The rest of my cars have been German. The P71 that I will be picking up soon will be my first domestic car. I'm used to them though, as everyone else in my family drives Fords. FWIW, I have been hearing great things about the latest EVO. The last gen was ok, but there are too many around here that have been riced out. Kind of turned me off to the idea of owning one.

It makes me chuckle to hear people compare v6 mustangs to lancer evo's. Comparing a cobra to an evo is a fair comparison. Comparing a v6 mustang to a base model lancer is a more appropriate comparison.

That being said, I do like the Evo 8 and 9

+1 to that. But if you compare them price wise the Evo is comparable to a brand new GT. You can find an 08 for close to 30k, which is what my GT cost me (not after the A-plan and everything). If I could have my choice and not feel bad about not buying an American made car I'd buy the Evo in a heartbeat.

Is the Evo pretty stock. When I was looking at them it was hard to find an older generation that wasn't messed with.

yeah every car can be faster, i would superchager my car if it still did not suck in the winter.

i thought the evo would be a good car all year long and still have good profomace and the all wheel drive would help with snow.

hell if i lived if ware its warm most of the time i would keep my stang.
