I'd go for the Impreza STi, if I had 30k. US Evo is missing ACD and AYC.
I'll probably pick up the Evo VIII kit tomorrow. One of a few advantages of living in tokyo.

Don't worry. I was expecting to hear that.
 I can already tell a few things without having the kit. The interior is the same as Evo VII, which is probably the same as earlier Evos. The mold on the inner side of the door is so shallow, and it looks bad. The instruction calls for clear red for the tail light, but actually, only the turning light has to be amber, and the cover is clear. Red should be used for the bulb and reflector inside it. I'll make some more comments about the new body, when I get the kit.

Looks like another order coming up
 Be interesting to see how many different types they bring out in the next few months (Road/Race). I may wait to see if they do a race version later on

Hi.....saw the Fujimi Evo 8. Well...Fujimi has done it again!! Almost the same interior as Evo 7. And I was also totally disappointed when i saw the plastic most are mould in red colour. I know them too well... same kit but will come out different decals. I will be waiting to see the best decals they have come out for Evo 8 then i will buy. Meanwhile.. i found this RX-7 from Fujimi also coming up soon.

Just came back from a hobby shop with the Evo VIII kit, and I also got a brochure at a dealer.
The kit is identical to the Evo VII, except the front of the body, rear wing, audio faces, and wheels. The kit has Enkei 6 spoke, and it's not a recycle of the existing wheel. Correct decals for the Evo VIII is included, but the carbon fiber decals for the wing is useless. The mold on the hood and bumper is dull, and they have to be sharpened.  The rocker panel is flat, but adding a triangle shaped plastic sheet with a rounded tip should solve the problem.  The wheels are Enkei 17 inch, and it looks accurate as a factory stock, but majority of AF members would want to install 18in, and lower the car. The spoke is a bit dull, so it's better to sand the face to sharpen the edge, and paint it with Alclad II. The tires are 245/40/ZR17, while the real car has 235/45/ZR17.  The lower lip should be a bit thinner, and a parting line is missing on the kit bumper.  Here's what can be done to make the front look better. Sharpen these edges, and correct the side.  The seat is Recaro, and the seam lines are different, so you might want to scribe the correct lines, if it matters to you. Overall, this kit is one of better Fujimi kits, and a little enhancement will make it a good replica of the Evo VIII.
