[st-evo-9*corn fed-8urvet*]

im gonna throw in my bid for the evo line up.

i feel like it embodies everything people dont think of a japanese car as being, but pulls off.

-supercar performing quality parts for a budget price
-good performance car styling
-awd
-could out handle almost all supercar's
-kept getting better each incarnation too date
-18 year consistant model run sense 1992
-driving experience that you couldnt get out of a car till u spent 6 digits
-had a warrenty
-left a mark in several motorsports
-jeremy clarkson owns one - that should say something
-had 4 door's, seats 5 people, still has its econo car roots
-the best out of pocket expence to power gain ratio of any car.
-its stayed constant to its core market of consumer's wanting performance on a budget sense day 1, none of this lets make the new model twice what its worth and aim it at a new market business.

so everything i listed above could probably compete with the skylines list, to be the most iconic jap car.

but here are the last 2 things i forgot to mention, that i feel push the evo over the skyline as the most iconic japanese car.

-use of a historic engine the 4g63, that has consistantly been around in one form or another sense 1983. so a 24 year old "iron" block that kept improving and setting records and win's, and has shown to hold up to 600hp+ in factory form.

and second

- the 4g63 is a "4 CYL" engine

when thinking of japanese car's and they engine's what first pops into your head.....4 cylinder's not 6 that switch from inline to a V configuration.



if someone out due my claim with another car. ill paypal them $5, if someone can make a good argument and make me switch my answer to the skyline ill paypal them $10

GAME ON!!!
