I personally think that since the EVO 6, the styling has been appaling (sp) on them! Thats what half the appeal was to me, the raw look of a rally car!

However, in terms of technology, speed, power and agility they have moved on an awful lot and are now a pretty awesome machine!

Especially if you go for the FQ400 version!

Agreed, but as I said it depends what your after really, in terms of ballsout performance or styling!

The Evo 7's and 8's arent visually as nice as the 6 (as above) but in terms of actually driving etc they are oodles ahead. A friend of mine chopped his 6 in for a 7 a month ago and wouldn't look back! (even though im tempted to buy a 6 once i sell the S2000!)

As for performance, if you upgrade the ECU (GEMs or something) exhaust/decat, filter etc etc you will easily see a RELIABLE 350hp!!!!! I used to give me Evo7 a hard time pretty much every time i used it and not once did it brake on me!!!!
