Great Autoweek article on the 2012 Evo X MR

Read a great review of the 2012 MR in Autoweek. They raved about the handling and performance. There was a funny comment where the writer said that older Evo's seem "dated", which will grate the 8/9 guys, but those of us who have X's know how good looking they are. http://www.autoweek.com/article/2012...IEWS/120929970

My guess is most of the haters have never owned or driven an EVO, if they had they wouldnt make such baseless and silly remarks. Gotta drive it to believe it.

We really don't see enough good articles. Those who know, really look at this car, and I love that.

So I read some of the comments posted on there and it's funny how they keep saying "it's based on a base lancer". I know I own a RA but still respect the GSR's and MR's (hoping to trade in one day). But everything is based on something. Heck if they want to say that then the STi is based on the impreza, the Shelby GT500 is on the V6 mustang, heck the bad a$$ Raptor is on the F150. It doesn't matter where it came from its just a body style. Why spend hundreds of thousands more just to come up with a new body when they can just work with what they have.

I've been reading up on Audis for my next purchase. Same stuff is said about those...

Audi TT-RS is just a VW Golf
and the Audi S4 is just a Passat
