EVO 8 or EVO X

So I stop at the dealer today took a look at a nice blue evo x, it was my first time looking at one and I really liked it. I was driving my evo 8 they told me if I wanted to trade it in. and now it got me thinking. What would you guys do trade it? or keep my evo8. If I trade it I have to change it back to stock. and Im not to sure theres lots of performance parts for evo x's. Im just a little confused.

Keep the 8, if you like what you have and are looking for something 'evolved' from the 8, the X is not it. Keep it raw, keep the 8!

Sounds more like you have a fever for a new/newer car. Stick with your Evo 8

Plenty of mods for the X's. I would wait a few years, or buy the X and keep the 8 if possible. Look at the process... you have the hassle of removing the parts on your 8 so you can trade for the X. Good luck trying to get your money back out of your Evo 8 parts. Finally you’re going to go and void your Evo X warranty, who knows whets in store for this new model? A warranty may come in handy.
