nice review. It is still slower around a track . I had to be the first say it, sorry. But seriously you took a very unbiased approach which was well conveyed through the review.

Previous Evolutions have had AYC, just the Americans have never had it. This isn't big news.

True, but this is the first time that we get to drive an evo with AYC, so it IS big news

Right, but the summary of the article was basicly, "look, even though the Evolution lost the 4G63, gained weight, and didn't really gain any more power, look, AYC, ooohh ahhh, three letters make it all better, A Y C....".

So what does that mean for the European and Japanese market, they didn't really gain ANYTHING, they just lost the venerable engine that powered the car since it's inception, plus now it's heavier. Sounds crappy.

since the seven edition, the evo's have ACD AYC. / and we know ,the 7th evo was almost a worst one/and the AYC is not an issue free device. So some even ended up taking out.
but the AYC was intruduced for the mass in the 1996 Evo IV. And still isn't the greatest thing.
So i'm just try to point out, the AYC is not the winner formula . They know it so they need to change it . Now they doing this S-AWC. So We will see.

I guess you didn't watch it, they basicly said it gained weight, wasn't much faster around a track, and rambled on somthing about AYC, and said it was a great Evo for people "over 30". How is that a thumbs up?
