Changing my Opinion about the X
Ever since I first saw the EXO X I hated it. On paper it looked completely ridiculous. I didn't like the shape or the lines of the car at all. Every time I would see one in a magazine or other type of publication I would just turn the page and shake my head.
Well that changed yesterday. I was commuting to work yesterday and a black X pulled up behind me and then pulled beside me. When that car was behind me I could not tell what kind of car it was. When It was to my right I had finally figured it out. This really cool older guy was driving the X and was waving to me. Of course I waved back and then the X took off.
Now that I have seen a X up close I am completely in love with its looks. Everything about the car is just sick. The stance, the wheels, even the wing. I am now a believer. The only thing I could possibly complain about is those dual exhaust tips. But hey, nothing is perfect. I might wait a couple of months and go to the stealership to sit in one and maybe take it for a test drive. To all you X drivers I am jealous.

It's like a game. The old VIII and IX guys do not want to like the X. I know, I was one of them! But one close look at the X and a few problems with my VIII made me a believer and I never looked back. All it takes is an open mind.

It's the old vs. new arguement that takes place when any new version of any car comes out. You have guys that are in love with the old that think the new is "soft" and has lost it's edge. This topic has been beaten to death on this board.
Bottom line is, everyone will like what they will. Most of the guys that I hang out with have VIIIs and IXs...and I still love the CT9A. When I see a CT9A that is put together well, I still admire it for what it is.

its actually quite easy to tell the difference between even a lancer and a X that has the small wing. the fenders are different the rims are different.. the stance is even different... dual exhuast. Granted I probably pay more attention to detail than a lot of people, its still not that hard.

I've only seen one Evo X on the road, but damn it was badass. Sure, I saw them a lot at the dealership, but on the road it's just different. They retain the "wow" factor that the previous generations instilled, but without the "wtf" since the X looks more refined.

I don't like the back of the car at all...The front with the aero kit is actually nice and aggressive looking...the wing on the X sux...I actually prefer the smaller wing...but hell...why couldn't they make a wing that goes good with the car like the 8/9's?...I liked the eVo simply because of the 8's and the 9's...that's what made me get one...and switch to an eVo from my mustangs...if the 8's and 9's never came out...and all we had was eVo X...I would never consider switching...I guess it is more refined...and makes sense to drive one if you are 28 married or just about to get married...with kids or whatever...and the big wing on the 8's and 9s bothers you...but other than that...I don't think I would by an eVo X at all...for the money its good and all...but I would look at other cars for sure...
