Default Drove an Evo X tonight...

Was in Baton Rouge and did it just for kicks.
Theres no way I want a 35k car right now.

BUT DAMN!!!!!!!!!
Mitsu did it right with the X.

It blows the MS3 and STi right out of the water.
The handling is the most impressive part. I was hugging a very tight corner with my thumb.... it does not break loose.

Driving the car, I could not seem to get this stupid ear to ear grin off my face, I even started the paperwork for it but then had the reality check of "HEY DUMBASS!!!! THIS IS A $34,000 DOLLAR CAR! STOP!!!"
(They offered me more than I owe for my car...!)

As of right now, there are only 27 unsold Evo X's in the USA.

Thats all thats left out of the initial 1,000.

hah, ya the dealership by me has about 5 sitting there.. We test drove one also.. And I have to admit I loved it. Even the body style looks good in person. I dont think the pictures do it any justice..

Theres none between Texas and california, except for 1 in NV and 3 in AZ.

The Interior is actually really nice on the X, its not as cheap feeling as the VIII's are.

[:@]HATTTTEEEE[:@]the VIII interior. IX is a little better but the entire dash is just boring. the X's look a lil better but for 35k.. i'd expect more. i still havent seen any out on the streets around here. there are 3 of them at CHS Mitsu

you would expect more? Maybe you havent ever talked to the people who bought VIII and IXs new they were the same price. I know a few people who paid over $42k for MR's
