But I'll be damned if it still doesn't look as attractive as it did when it came out.

All this Mitsubishi talk lately has me thinking about them.

That's a pretty sweet GT-R

Yup, it looks as attractive now as it did then, which is not very much so.

I would own one, but it took a long time for them to grow on me.

It actually looks a lot like the Lexus IS cars the more I look at it...

It looks older than the car it replaced.

Can't say I agree with that statement. But to each his own.

I grew up liking how they looked and it's crazy that it still looks this good now (by today's standards, even).

It's also a shame when it comes down to it.

Not sure if serious or haven't seen another car in the last 7 years.

You know what sucks? I still can't get a decent Evo for under $20k.

I love the Evo. Always have. This design still rocks, in my opinion.

That's surprising actually.

If I didn't know it was that old, I'd guess it's been out for a couple years. Still looks fresh.

I can't find an IX for under $20k, and all the VIIIs are beat to hell or have questionably tasteful mods.

Ah, I figured depreciation on these things would be massive. I guess their popularity with the modding crowd aids how slow the prices fall.

An IX? You spell out the letters, brah? :D

Filthy colonials. Or is that an (Evo) IX? But then you'd say 'an nine'.

Ermahgerd. It's 3:42am on a Friday, I get a free pass, right?

Haha. Didn't know how to write it, but I'll use the "Evo" IX excuse :P

RE: 7-y.o. designs

Cars had reached a certain level of neatness post-2000, it seems to me.

Some stuff gets better still, but there's clearly area where we're taking one step only to walk back two.
