On this commemorative DVD version of Best Motoring International series Volume 05, the regular reviewers of BMI, Keiichi "Drift King" Tsuchiya and Akihiko Nakaya compare the eternal rivals, the Subaru Impreza and the Lancer Evolution. Tsuchiya and Nakaya take the viewers along on an extensive comparison test between the Impreza and the Lancer. These two cars have been rivaling each other ever since both cars debuted more than 10 years ago. BMI gathers the major models of both vehicles from the past to present, and looks at how these cars evolved. Finally, the question of "Who is faster; the Impreza or the EVO?" is answered!? The chapter ends with a battle between the past and the latest models of the Impreza and the EVO. Next, a whole display of cars with tuned inline-6 engines are featured. See the turbo and non-turbo inline-6s turn into neck-braking fast machines! Plus to honor and to bid farewell to the Supra and the RX-7 which are ending production this year, BMI assembled a number of monster machines to run in the Sayonara Battle. See the BMI reviewers driving their vehicles to the limit with hair on fire and on the edge!

Excellent video.:

The beginning of the video compares the history and merits of the Subaru WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer/Evo. What I found refreshing was that they actually interviewed... more info
