the X reminds me of new pontiac GTO body style... it doesnt scream EVO rally toughness but lets hope the production model will be better... its too round and bubbly
i hope the inside is redone as well.... i love the VII and IX outside but i wished the inside had some more luxury to the pannel and the meters (turbo, etc) were placed better and a better stereo system
i just wish the X would look like this one

I think I like it.....the more I look at it the more I like! The only part that really throws me off right now is the dash and crap but I am sure most of that will change. Overall I am impressed (I even like the color).

Just personal taste I guess
Consider this. The average speed shift for a human is around 0.4 seconds...an SMG can do it in 0.1 second. In the 1/4 mile the EVO has 3 shifts, so over the 1/4 the SMG is accelerating an extra 0.9 seconds as opposed to coasting
. And that's just for a 13 second 1/4 mile...imagine a 1 minute road course.

The EVO 10 is fricken hot......But.....I wonder what dodge's version of the car will look like. I hope the hood looks more like the 03 cobras and less like the SRT4's.
I also would like to get some HP numbers. As for the aluminum block....welcome to the 20th century! The Z06 also shares an aluminum block....I highly doubt you have to worry about it being the weakest link.
The car will grown on everyone......the new look always takes awhile to sink in to some people. The difference is comparable to the 1G and 2G eclipse. Night and day as far as hipness goes.
