Wired's "10 Damn-Near Perfect Cars"
 
I'm not sure I agree with all of their choices, but at least they had the good sense to list the Evo;

Runner up: Nissan Skyline GT-R series. A tough call, but we gave the Evo the nod. We expect serious flames for this. We’ve got our Nomex on.
They just haddd to throw something like this in.

Interesting comments in the feedback section. I love the guy that called the 911 a piece of crap.

preaching to the choir here but it really doesn't get much better - 4 doors, trunk space, reliability, 4cyl mpg, turbo power, all weather capability and uncorked very easily - there's no denying the Evo is damn near perfect

Macaroni Mar 16, 2010 12:20 PM

Yes! I own 2 of the "10 damn-near perfect cars"! haha

have to agree with IMPdemon...not really sure about the choices listed - expect the EVO, of course

Haha! Awsome. Look at all the hate the Evo gets. Makes me prouder to own 2 Evos!

<grin> I just read all the comments. Mostly magazine racers, outside of a few better contributions. Hilarious.

Evo>GT-R. The GT-R still has not been able to trounce the Evo in time attack, here or Japan.

Not bad, I also have one their runner-ups :p

As for trunk space, mpg and overall room, I'm more than happy.

At a recent track day, I had:
4 wheels
jack
overnight bag
wheel chocks
bicycle pump
large tool bag
small ice chest
torque wrenches
5 liter bottle of oil
1 liter can of brake fluid

and I still had tons of space in the trunk. The wheels were stacked up in the back seat.

22 mpg to the track and 4 mpg on the track :lol:

I still wouldn't mind having a GTR though. Its like the MILF of the automotive world.

Mmm..... I'd hit it..... twice!
