Thats because both cars have a 0-50mph time of 4.6, while they have the 0-100kmh time, and i dont think the STI is ukly, i just dont think they should have called it a STI.

ACTUALLY IT SUPRISES ME THAT THE EVO IS FASTER TO 60. BUT I DO BELIVE THAT IT IS A BETTER TRACK CAR. NOT TO METION THAT THE STD OR STI IS UGLY! THE EVO DOSNT LAUNCH AS HARD. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT SOMTHING SEEMS WIERD ABOUT THIS INFO.

How can the 1/4 mile of the evo can be slower than the impreza's when all the acceleration specs of the evo are better?
