Upgrade from an Evo 8/9

Out of curiosity, what car(s) do past members of Evo 8/9 usually upgrade to? I know it varies but generally speaking.

i also went from an eclipse to my evo. i dont think you can upgrade from an evo.... more like people get older and priorities change. for example maybe they want something more comfortable so they buy a bmw, etc.

Most people get the Evo for the sheer horsepower the Evo can produce, then as they grow up, they usually get a BMW, Lexus or something Luxury based and over $50,000.

Nothing much you can upgrade from a Evo besides that.

My cars were:

1992 Nissan Sentra > Broken Down
1986 Toyota Corolla GTS > Stolen
2002 Toyota Corolla > Daily Driver, Given to Sister when I joined the Army
2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX > Current

Future:

BMW M3 or something from Audi / Lexus.

And if I have kids:

BMW X3, or something big for the kids to be safe in.

Thats exactly it, I got into 1 finally cause i realized the true performance value vs buck and evo is it. For a more civil ride and looks i got a 335i but deflated my pockets!

Yeah, If I had the dough, I would keep the Evo for a weekend car and get a BMW M3 or a 3 Series for DD. Nothing really beats an Evo when if comes to HP/Buck comparison.

But the Evo does lack in the luxury department, I hate driving long distances and have no cruise control, bucket seats chew my bum out and its just uncomfortable in general for any trips over 200 miles.

But I'm happy for now. =)

I drive a gs300 and i'm trying to get an evo. All this grown up talk is a joke if your getting out an evo for luxury you can get a damn Hyundai sonata lol, but getting a bimmer or lex or benz then your just looking to get ***** and impress people plain an simple.

I've had two Evos, and there were a few cars that I had considered in recent months:

BMW 335i coupe
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR SSS
Nissan 370Z

Perhaps other owners may feel the same.
