The chassis is more rigid in bending and torsion has improved more than 50 percent, but it's unfortunately also about 200 pounds heavier.

So I guess the increase in HP was necessary...I guess there won't be too much of a performance difference than the IX?

I agree with you brotha, the Concept X looks more aggressive and i just noticed it has a rear diffuser too which is tight and cool looking I guess that is what japanese people will be getting while Americans will be getting the ugly ones.

Same as on say the single piston 2006/07 Honda CRF250 dirt bike, smaller lighter mufflers, same sound output as one big heavy muffler, better weight distribution.

Im liking my now worn-in, fading old '05 'analog' CT9A RS even more now! Looks like people fresh out of nursing school might test drive the easy to use Evo X along w/a TL & 330i? Our US version will have thickster 5mph parking lot crash beamed rear bumpers also with smaller plate cutout and extra reflectors to make US insurance institute happy.

+The dual-clutch automatic will shift faster than anyone on the planet can drive the manual.

-You pay more for the dual-clutch automatic and get one less pedal on the floor to entertain yourself while driving.

Hope that helps.

Also, it might shift faster but that doesn't mean it will be faster. The DSG GTI for instance, which everyone claimed was faster than the MT, is not turning in the best times at the strip. With a good driver the MT guys are getting better times, though that may change when the US gets launch control.
