On a side note, is it just me or do overwhelming number of honda people prefer the STi to the more popular Evo?

is the snow and cold weather the only reason for ditching the teg? It would make more sense to just get an old imprezza RS AWD or something similar and throw some knobby snow tires on it. Cause I mean worst case there will probably only be like 60 or so days where you can't drive the teg. unless you really need to go fast in the snow.
