No it's not really old info, it's just the Drivers' Log. It's in this week's Autoweek on the newstand.

"The giant rear wing is a bit tacky, but it looks to be real carbon fiber. Somehow, I felt like that gave me more street cred and justified its being there...."

Hmmmm...where do they find these idiot so-called auto journalists??? This article ranks with ones from the Washington Post and USA Today...written for the lowest common denominator obviously.

Rev on,
Leonardo

Oh well, Most people who call the wing "tacky" are just a little salty that it's the only part of the car that they'll be seeing on the street. See you in my "tacky" rearview mirror.

-BTW it looks to be real carbon fiber because it is moron. Do these guys read specs or actually drive the cars before they write articles on them?? I wonder...

I know that every one of us could write an article 10 fold better than that crap. to the true auto journalist who can see the strongest in every genre of car. Not Autoweek!

These auto journalists have NO idea when it comes to functionality. I'm surprised that there have not been more complaints on the EVOs' harsh ride
These are the kind of people that think the Montero sucks because it doesn't ride like a car. Take a Montero off-road and you'll know what it was designed for. Functionality!!!!!!

hehe I said it was tacky, didnt say that I did not like it. That is one of the draws of the evolution, that it is different than most everything on the market at this time.
