If anyone has ever watched rally racing, or even Top Gear, you can see an Evo is capable of. I consider myself a CAR enthusiast, not a Camaro enthusiast. That's not to take anything away from the car. I guess my point is that you don't have to down other cars or make "car racist" remarks to make yourself feel better about owning an incredible piece of machinery. Alright, lets see what everyone says about this.
My issue with them is two things, and two things only:

1. All the Fast and the Furious kids out there with lit up and annoyingly-loud Civics give the import "scene" a very bad image...and I'd hate to be associated with it. I get that every car has its stereotype...but that's just embarrasing, imo.

2. They're big-ticket foreign items, and I'd (honest-to-God) rather move closer to work and ride a bike every day for the rest of my life than buy one. Thank goodness I have GM and Ford to turn to.
