Re: Why doesn't mitsibishi compare the Evo to the STI?
should point out that the evo and sti wrx don't have an image in the states because you guys don't follow the world rally.
in the rest of the world, these two cars have a very strong image. |

Re: Why doesn't mitsibishi compare the Evo to the STI?
Yeah I do believe that the clutch is a problem, while most EVO owners don't report major clutch problems, a substantial amount do. This problem I hope will be solved with the introduction of the 2005 models. Your correct about AWD being more abusive on the clutch, but clutch problems for other companies that utilize AWD such as Subaru and Audi are not really a big issue, so yes I have to admit, the problem lies with Mitsubishi. Also you say why doesn't Mitsubishi advertise the EVO against Subaru STI, well really, Mitsubishi doesn't really advertise the EVO period. For now they really don't need to, they are accomplishing their sale goals with out it. But if Mitsubishi ever plans to sell a lot more EVOs, a big advertsing campaign would be highly recommended.

And Mitsubishi refuses to admit that there is a problem and repair the clutch when it dies at 3,000 miles. That's bullshit, and that's a sign of a bad company.

Re: Why doesn't mitsibishi compare the Evo to the STI?
300, I didn't mean that you said they were the bread and butter... I was just pointing out that fact, economics rules out over performance... look at Toyota... and we all criticize them, ha, I bet toyota's CEO and major shareholders are pretty happy w/ how things are going, and could care less about the demise of any car that wasn't making them enough$$$, or yen, or whatever. Hey, look at my car, Camaro, it too fell victim, though having a diehard following it wasn't economically justifiable. I'm just saying the commercial showcase the valuable cars... like you said, the altima for nissan. BUT... sports cars DO provide an image, the Corvette is GMs little flagship. When is the last time you saw an ad for a Corvette? But I have to say I see a lot more Corvette's around than EVOs or STI's.

Re: Why doesn't mitsibishi compare the Evo to the STI?
kman, you misread my post
"Hey, look at my car, Camaro, it too fell victim, and although having a diehard following it wasn't economically justifiable to produce" I omitted a few words the first time. I was just saying the Evo and STi are niche cars like said earlier, the Corvette is more of a manstream sporty car, while the Evo anbd Sti are really for ethusiests only. You don't really know about these cars unless you know about cars. |
