Heh, there are a lot of reasons that I bought a BMW instead of another STI or an EVO. But the ugliness factor can't be denied. They never were attractive cars and the newest ones have gotten worse. The other issue with the STI and EVO are build quality. The 07 and 08 STIs have issues with blowing their engines even at stock power levels; and the EVO, between busting transmissions, plastic pedals that break under normal usage and a worthless warranty is even worse in this category. I just could not justify spending 35-40K for either of them new and could not locate an older used one that was in good condition and not molested. So BMW 335xi it was. This was backed up by Automobile magazine picking it over both the new STI and EVO in a comparo.
