You're really going to have trouble selling that argument to some people because everyone is not looking for the same thing.

While I agree the X a much better car in a technical sense, the sharpness of the IX was a major reason I bought it rather than an STi, for example. They specifically mention that the X doesn't feel as sharp, even though it handles well, etc etc. It all depends what you're looking for in a car as to whether it's better or not.

OTOH, it was indeed awesome to watch them tossing the X around the track. Looks like a blast!

 

Check out the latest C&D...has the new CTS-V on the cover. In a three-way shootout between the X, STI and R32, the X came in first, R32 second and the STI third. The STI was slower 0-60 than the Evo and a tenth slower in the 1/4 mile, calling it a toss up. The X engine seemed to have a broader power curve than the STI which was apparently asleep below 4K rpm. Dynamically, there was no comparison and the X was a far better driver's car than either. I'm surprised the STI came in behind the R32 however. The STI had bags of understeer and wasn't as good as the other two in the twisties.

 

BOYS PREFER THE IX, WHILE MEN DRIVE THE X.
The End!

If you're not old enough to drink, you're not old enough to give your opinion...joking

 

"We will take this over any sedan.....any sedan except the EVO" hahah classic

 

<grin> I prefer the IX's styling and I'm 44. I'm flattered to be thought of as a boy, nonetheless.
