weight will keep going up and they force stronger safety standards.... But the car could be radically changed before the 2018 cutoff from cafe

I'M sure it is more or less based on the economy. I don't think this would be due to the quality of the car. Although it seems the X paint is worse then the IX from what i was looking at in the Exo X paint section thing.

When I first drove the 8, it put a smile on my face. There was no ambiguity about the car, it rode hard and it felt light on its feet. When I test drove the X GSR, it did not feel the same, the new car is more mainstream and it’s not as hardcore. In my opinion the new car is a totally different car.

Oh really? Whereabouts can I find this type of information? I've searched and came up dry.

sorry i was cutting a joke, I am still working on my sarcasm.

EVO 11 I would image is only drawing board / prototyping right now.

my point was they need to lose some weight on that car

2 reasons nah make that 3 reason:

1. Mitsu has ZErO brand respect in the USA
2. The X is slower than the 9
3. The X costs too much...

I think the X is cool. But the AYC and all of that stuff really helps the car out and the suspension is amazing but it is going to make everyone feel like they can drive like a race car driver. It also does not give the sporty feel of the 8 or 9 but nice improvement.

Lotus are starting to gain weights too, but that's due to supercharger instead of NA.....c6 is smaller than c5 overall.

I dont think is selling well, because stock to stock evo 8,9 looks better than evo 10
Realistically if you ask someone whoe doesn't know anything of sports car and ask them which car looks more sporty and mean, or just fast,they'll say Evo8-9 instead of the Evo X. Even if the evo X get to perform better or be faster with less after market parts. Remember why do you thing porsche has have the same style for so long because it looks fast, sexy and mean.

i'll give you # 1, but the car is bad ***, look at turbo trix getting 90 whp out of an intake and boostcontroller, this is with NO TUNE!!!!! The evo has a strong name , i think the economy is slow, thus all sports cars are in a dip.
