Evo X has hit AZ
Evo X has hit AZ
I went to my dealer and saw their first X to arrive. It was a GSR with SSS package.
I let myself into the service area so not to be overwhelmed by the salesmen. Overall it looked pretty good. I did not drive nor start the car. Simply did a quick once over around the car and sat in the cabin for a few minutes. Time spent no more than 3 minutes so this is not a detailed review(lunch break).
Pros:
-Enough room for medium frame turbo with decent sized manifold
-Brembos
Cons:
-Smelled like ****.(why do all evos have that same smell)
-Cheap looking interior (except for the instrument panel)
-Recaro seats had a CF looking laminate in and around the harness hoops
-Exhaust design had too many sharp bends.
That was my first impression. I have an appointment with them later in the week.
Should be a fun car

"Exhaust design had too many sharp bends." That is one sign for the hidden WHP.....
I agree with you 100%, but it will most likely have to come from a custom set up. I remember seeing one from HKS or Greddy and it looked similar to stock only shiny.
There will be someone to come out with a single exit straight design.

What?
Evo's stink?
I thought all new cars had a nice smell to them, you learn something new everyday!
That sucks, my wife doesn't need any more ammo for me not to get this car! I think she hates it since I talk it about it so much.
Dealers here in Northern NJ said End of Jan/Beg of Feb as an ETA
