ok, i wade into the EVO vs Stock Lancer..
no they are total worlds apart.. but personally not a fan.
I know they go like stink, handle like stink and meant to make a rex look a bit like a kids car, but that still doesn't hide the fact *to me at least* they look just like an over the top generic lancer. And that interior, apart from the seats and a few nicer trimmings (at least on the EVO VI's and EVO IV's and things I've seen around) you wouldn't say "oh wow" when you look inside.
I guess that defines part of their heritage as "all go", "less show".
Guess I'm not a massive fan of the more compact sports. And I love a sexy looking interior as well as exterior.
But yeah, meant to be great cars - can't argue with that!
