You misspelled 'separated' in the title

And the back of the Accord coupe looks like the back of Vader's helmet.

"I think Lord Helmet is a better fit. Heh."

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I've heard the white Evo referred to as the Stromtrooper edition many times

The Force is strong with this one.

The next Evo blog entry should be titled: Goes Ludicrous Speed

I think the new Evo looks downright menacing in person. In a crowded parking lot, it looks like it wants to eat the other cars for lunch.

It definately makes slowpokes get out of the way on the freeway. The downside is that anytime I pass someone in such a manner I get glares like I just took their lunch money and gave them a swirly.

My MS3 doesn't look 1/10th as aggressive, but I find that for some reason it REALLY ticks off mullet-heads in domestic pick-ups and musclecars. Oh well, any car that causes UAW members to flip me off wins kudos in my book; maybe I should upgrade to an EVO- it might generate even more apoplexy...

One of the ugliest looking noses ever created on a car. I don't find it menacing - I find it laughable.

This would be an even greater car with the Cobalt SS drivetrain, and Buick fit/finish/reliability.

Every wondered how Darth Vader seemed to age so much between "Empire" and "Jedi"? He lost is fire and performance edge. Cars are a lot like that.

I can definitely see the resemblance. No wonder this car looks so cool!

@ jederino -- surely you jest. You would rather see an AWD Evo with the FWD drivetrain of the Cobalt SS?

jederino says:

^^I am kidding, but I do admire the budget performance of the Cobalt SS!

"I am kidding, but I do admire the budget performance of the Cobalt SS!"

GM should have put the SS powertrain in the Astra; you'd get European driving dynamics with good old American grunt. The Cobalt SS is much like the original 1968 Road Runner- it's a car for people who want to buy a fast car on the cheap, and aren't bothered by nondescript styling and a low-rent(al) interior.
