GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Well I was on the Mitsu site today and the new Evo is availlable in Canada now. Going for a test drive and maybe trade the Vibe in. Gonna be tough I love my Vibe but the Evo is the car I want.

Yeah,I know,finally.But the price tag has jumped compared to prior years in the States.If I had the money I'd take one though.Looking forward to a full review.

the new evo looks very nice, i noticed the "octane blue" kinda looks like the wave blue, unless it's just the website, but for $52,000, wow thats alot

The GSR is $41,000 here in Alberta thats the quote from the dealer i got. Leaves me room to mod. I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

ya i "built" the evo MR, figured why not, with the premium package -$4000..so ya..no other options or accessories yet..

i just can't stand the look of the new X. but I will still go test drive for comparison's sake... I'm especially interested in the DSG box they offer in the MR. Now Subaru has confirmed they will be bringing a DSG (rumor before) to the STI, but we'll see if it comes to the US. Regardless, I'm planning on picking up my 08 STI hatch (no more sedans unless the rear seats fold down!) in May. IF/WHEN SOA brings a DSG box and provided it comes in a nice 5 door hatch frame, that will be the next car most likely. I really dislike the new look to the X. Can't get over the front end... it's just FUGLY. everything else is fine. now, you should check out the new Ralliart. I may have to check one of those out too.

Guess they are hoping someone buys one at that price. They over priced the older models too.I'd sooner take an STi over an Evo any day. But if the evo was a lot cheaper for canadians over the STi... An evo would do just fine.

LOL

yea i sat in all of them, i like the impreza sedan..the non-hatch version..dont know why..the hatch in my opinion looks way to similar to a mazda 3..even though i love those too
