I read the AutoCar article today & found it interesting how it turns out (Evo better than STi, even tho Evo less extreme than past versions ) as compared to the cars we are going to get here in the US.

in the UK, you don't get DCCD or the 2.5l motor in the STi, nor the twin-scroll they get in Japan, nor the Spec-C suspension settings.

the UK does get the full-on Evo tho, AYC/ACD, 6-speed, the whole bit but here in the US we of course only get 5-speed & no AYC/ACD.

I think the ultimate test may be the US STi against the UK/JDM Evo, as they're both the most evolved of their type.

The AutoCar article notes that this is the last real battle between these two as the Evo will be replaced by a CZ-based smaller hatch in the nxt year plus leaving the Impreza alone in it's niche.
