Yes, and the pigs will look down and wave to Satan, sharpening his skates. ;-)

Then again, Audi and VW are probably feeling pretty outclassed right
now, so maybe it will happen.  The Golf R-whatever invokes the notion
"dead coming out the door" compared to the Lancer EVO 8 and the WRX
STi, both of which are due, well, pretty much any day now, not "in a
year or two."  Yeah, the golf interior's gonna be nicer, but with
gobs more HP, less weight, and more room(small sedan vs. little box),
who cares?

   I don't particularly care for the very latest Evo's changes in
sheetmetal and interior(I really like the 7), but otherwise, hoo-boy.
It's officially on my "cars I'd sell my soul for" list, along with
the Caterham R500*(that lovely blue, with carbon fiber nose and
fenders, please) and possibly the Skyline GT-R.

The STi?  Beauty may only be skin deep, but it's still Fugly with a
capital F :-)

*name comes from the HP/ton ratio. Hint: weighs 1,000lb.  Plus, you
get to put it together.  How cool is that?
