Mitsubishi is also introducing a Lancer to compete with the WRX. It was going to be turbo and a step under the Evo.

2006- WRX TR (2.0L H4 Tubo 230hp; MSRP $23,995)
2006- Mazdaspeed 6 (2.3L I4 Turbo 274hp; MSRP $28,555)
2006- VW Passat (3.6L V6 280hp; MSRP $29,950)
Used- WRX STi (2.5L H4 Turbo 300hp; $???)
Used- Evolution VIII (2.0L I4 Turbo 276hp; $???)
Used- Audi A4 Quatro (sports car???)
If it were me, I would get the used STI. But I don't care about gas mileage and I rarely go to where it snows.

I raced one the other night and got SMOKED. He had some work done to it, though, of course. He had an exhaust, header, TMIC, and a Cobb Stage 2 tune, and a few other odds and ends. He had me by about 1.5 cars off of a roll of about 20 mph. It's not surprising, considering the LGT only weighs about 100 lbs more than the STi.
Well, I guess he said he's already purchased a 2006 WRX. Whatever the case, a very fun car to drive.
