I've still yet to see one in the wild.

I know two other owners in town, and have seen their cars, but never "in the wild".

Chicago is going to be a pretty big target market for these cars. Any of the AWD sports cars tend to do very very well up there (reference Audi's great market penetration in Chicago and in Minnesota as well).

I have seen four so far, but two were on a "cruising strip" here in town called Hiway 100..
Gotta expect that..

The other two were parked..

One at Culvers in M. Falls, the other at Renner in Fireballs "reserved for EVO's ONLY parking spot.."

I have not seen 1 evo on the road here. I have looked in the dealer advertisements in the paper to see what they were trying to charge, and hell the 1 mitsu dealer in town isn't even advertising them. they love their chevy and ford trucks around here.

I about paralyzed myself with neck whip while spinng in my seat to check out a silver Evo driving down Santa Fe in Overland Park. It looked like a 35-40ish woman driving.

uhh buddy EVOs are limited.....4,500 this year and 6,500 the following.....that pretty limited compared to the population of the US...and the amount of other cars produced, then you add the cost of the car and how many can afford it/ would rather have a sports sedan over a Honda....so seeing that many Evos is an act of GOD! and one more thing....i talked w/ a sales rep. at Huggins and the dealer sold the most EVOs in TEXAS....big state...he sold a GRAND total of 7 i think....

I have 3k miles on my car in Northern California and have seen 1 black one in San Francisco, 1 white one on a freeway in San Jose, 1 yellow one at a San Jose stoplight, and 1 silver one (which is a buddy of mine). I don't think there are many out there. Now when you compare this car to most other cars out there on the road in this area, the EVO is almost as "rare" as ferraris.

Very happy with the Cobra, it is not my daily driver.

You pissed about buying the Cobra mike? I think if I was limited to just 1 car, the Evo would be the easy winner vs the Cobra. Cobra is fun here and there, but certainly not the daily driver winner.

I've also owned my evo since March and have yet to see another one in the wild. In fact .... the only other evo's I've seen are at dealerships and one at a car show that was painted to look identical to the one that will be used in 2Fast2Furious .... except is was an 8 instead of a 7.
