Default 2007 Detroit AutoShow Subaru Display Sneek Preview



So far the display looks not too exciting:
-2007 Rally Car
-Current Tribeca, hopefully the 2008 B9 will be displayed, maybe still in the transport truck parked at the parking lot.
- Fugly BH5 concept

Mitsu
-2008 Production Version EVO (possibly my 06 STI replacement) need a more civilized and refined ride (no pic available).

I drove an '06 MR the other day. Didn't find the lack of cruise and tilt steering to be more civilized and refined. I also didn't find the suspension to be any softer than a stock STi. Actually, I think it was stiffer. And the gas mileage sucks too...19mpg average! I get 24.5 in my WRX. Evo's are sweet, but I wouldn't want one for a daily driver.

2008 EVO is being redesigned from ground up, nothing to do with current. I get 16 mpg driving with mama y papa on board (shifts at 4K max, no hard accelerations, etc.)

Oh...the '08 is the Evo X isn't it. I forgot about that. Its supposedly sharing a platform with the Jeep Compass. Not sure how that'll play to the performance side of things, but here's hoping.

at your gas mileage! I knew STi's liked to suck down gas, but I didn't know it was that bad. Oh well, makes me happy to own a WRX.

How are you only getting 16 mpg shifting at 4k RPM? Unless you have alot of mods and stuff your gas mileage is terrible.

I shift higher then 4k more often then not and accelerate hard and I average 21-22 MPG. Maybe you aren't doing the math right

F-UGLY prototype! I too drove the EVO and no where near as nice overall as my WRX, quick and handles better though! Not after I complete my suspension mods!

This is a concept pic, but it looks pretty production to me, especially the interiors, previous concepts pics were too futuristic, this one looks the real deal. Show starts next week for press and charity events, and following for general public.
