The point is that even if that is so, how many EVO's or STi's do you think are sold nationwide? Maybe 10-15,000 units? That's not enough to support the company. Basically, it doesn't matter what they do to the EVO, what they need to do is get more sales of their other (especially the economy) vehicles, either by increasing the quality or marketing.

I don't really know about the past, but with the EVO definitely.
