uhhh.... isnt the 22b like the BEST car subaru has EVER made? they only made like 50 for the WRC of '99(which it won).... im wondering how could the sum of subarus engineering superiority be out voted by the flashy new sti... obviously my vote = 22b

Styling mostly is my guess. That, and not many people (especially stateside) even know what the 22b is, let alone how great of a car it was.

Old school forever.

RIP GF4🙁

I hope people do realize that the 22b is a limited edition GC (old body style) STi, they made 425, most for Japan and a few for Australia and UK. They had one come to my local dealer last fall, couple people from NASIOC showed up to see it. I wanted to go and see if it was really #13 like rumored but didn't get a chance to ask.
 
Keep in mind I've driven none of these cars, so I'm going by what I've read in track tests/test drive articles. I've seen that the Evo is a more engrossing drive, light, nimble, and is much more involving than the STi, which feels heavier, number, and lumbers around where the Evo dashes.

The 2.5 litre engine is much more attractive than the Evo's 2.0, but I'm a guy who likes to feel what he's driving 🙂

Yeah, the 22B Is a awesome car, with more power and better handling than a STi; not to mention it's a coupe with more aggressive headlights. Although the 2004 wrx sti fixes the circle headlight problem; the 22b is still far more aggressive. And even in GT3 and Sega GT2002 the 22B is much better than the wrx/evo 😛
 
if i HAD to choose one, i would go w/ the sti... but i mean... all of those cars are not in my likings as far as looks go for a performance vehicle for the money spent...
