Hey guys, I am a current 2002 WRX owner. I also owned a '98 Eclipse GS-T for three years. Needless to say I am a turbo freak. Currently I am halfway through law school and have begun to consider my next car. Clearly I won't be doing anything until I graduate, but I am a car-fanatic and I can't help but considering my options come the fall of 2009. Currently I have four cars on my "seriously considering:
1. Evo X MR - I don't think I need to say why, I love the look and numbers on this car, I think Mitsubishi really came through. I just hope by '09 they work out any kinks and touch up the interior some.

2. BMW 135 - A little twin turbo monster. All the refinement of a BMW with, seemingly, tons of potential. I think this could be a really fun ride.

3. Sti - I am not a fan of the look, but I love my Subie so I feel obligated to, at least, give it a test drive.

4. Dodge Challenger SRT-8- Yeah, I know, this car does not seem to belong on this list. But i have always loved Challengers and Cudas. I think the new look is amazing and with over 400hp I get giddy just thinking about it.

Needless to say, I will be following all of these cars closely. Right now I am definitely leaning towards the Evo, but who knows? Lots of things can change in a year. I look forward to hearing about all of your cars and seeing what some bolt ons can make them do.

Welcome, Kevin! With some luck, maybe we can say you to the Evo side of the fence for sure.

FWIW, others here have had the same list as you.

If your in law school to become a lawyer I'd saw get the BMW. Image porpuses!
Otherwise I'd say EVO X Baby!!!

It really depends on your needs and want from a car.

1) evo x - I think it best suits my need since it has AWD for the crappy Vancouver weather. I absolutely dig the look especially the Phantom Black MR . It has 4 doors and nice back sits! And I think it has 5 star safety rating and tons of air bags. Oh and it is fast as ballz!

2) 1-series - I don't like the looks too much, but if it ever came with AWD and was priced similarly with the Evo, then the 1-series would be an obvious choice, but it isn't. This car is guarantee to be a beast though that is for sure, however, I feel like RWD is less accommodating then AWD in terms of making driving errors. Oh, and I need a sedan.

3) 08 STI - can't stand the looks, however, great bang for bucks. Personally, I cannot justify spending so much on a car that I think is ugly. I still think it is a great car, though.

4) Dodge Challenger SRT-8 - No comment!

Hope it helps.

You don not need to own a Lancer/Evo or any Mitsubishi car to be part of the community. I am a member of my local BMW community too, athough I don't own one.

BTW, the 335i/xi is a good consideration too.

Thanks, I will be here regardless. I'm not too interested in the 3 series. I want to keep the cost under $38K and I like the size to power of the 135. I like a car that stands out a little, the 3 series are everywhere.
