I like the looks of the 911 but I see them everywhere.

holy crap where to you live?

GTI not a better buy I'll agree with that. Nelson, GTI's are turbo charged though. i'd take the GTI looks over this ugly thing any day. The current Raliart looks nice, this variant... ewww.
I'll expand on your comment.
If i had the money to buy a GTI, I'd wait and buy a used EVO... bypass any of the EVO lights.

also us Americans have NO problem buying hatchbacks! just when the price tag goes above $25K we start to waiver. Tons of sporty Mini's, GTI's, and Mazda 3 hatches on the road. The Volvo C30(?), the VW R32 and this half-breed will not sell as well in the States. If I'm spending much over $25K for a hatch you better believe it would have to be an STI or a used BMW M coupe.

ugly very VERY ugly.

would it sell at near $80,000 over here Mike? i'm not sure. as much as i'm with you in wanting one (or a stepped up version of a EVO for 2010), it's not on par with the GT-R.

Even a FQ-330 would be around $55,000-$60,000 in the states. i'd feel sick to my stomach spending much more than $40,000 on an EVO or STI as a daily driver. Performance - great. taking a seat from the inside on my way to work daily... i'd look around the interior and feel like i got ripped off. Again around $40K i could stomach it. Get the 350hp Nismo Z. Beautiful inside and out and i'd pay the coin for that.

I do share your love for the EVO Mike!

hot little ride... sans the ugly white stripes

the wheels are still butt
