I was going to hold off for the X but I would be amiss not to own an Evo IX. Plus, I have a feeling that the X will get too pricey. One of the great things about the Evo and the STi when they came out was the price and the kind of performance you get out of it. I have a feeling that the X might be a bit too expensive.

The 8 is paid off. Waiting for the 10 and skyline and maybe supra if they decide to bring it.

She's not that bad!! She's telling him to get an EVO!! It'll be interesting though to see what the X is when it hits our shores. Many of the review articles are comparing it with the M3 and Audi S4/RS4 (not necessarily the STI-which will only be offered in a hatchback for 2008). That is a totally different class of car, and it has me wondering how much they are going to be asking for it $$$!!

"A wider power range, a softer ride, and quieter. This is our direction," Iwata says. I have a feeling that if the chief engineer wants this, stick with the IX.

Until then, I'll keep driving my IX.

When they first come out they will only be automatic with paddle shifters and probaly real expensive. The five speed will come later after release ive read. Im gonna keep the 8. Like I say to all my friends with 9's don't hate the 8.

My advice is to let the X go for a few yrs cause there are always problems with the first couple yrs models. Look at the 03-04 VIII. Not that there is anything majorily wrong with them. You may not like the paddle shifting and wish you could go back to a stick.
