No, not at all. It's not like it's a Lotus 7 next to a Vayron. Both of Evolution platforms are very similar, albeit the X is a little more isolated, and slightly less responsive. The quality of the materials is significantly better in the CT9A, rendering the whole luxury aspect moot from its onset.

I meant that the CT9A does not have the typical creature comforts and is more concentrated on performance. Sitting in a X, and even the Subies, felt more comfortable, from seats to interior layout, heck. . . to cruise control. Obviously, performance capabilities for both (8/9 and X) are there; however, the CT9A platform has been proven for decades. OP is just torn because he wants the best of both worlds. Sometimes you feel like nut, sometimes you don't. I thought my analogy was appropriate.

Ahhhh now I see, lmaoo. Great analogy !!! I love my 9 MR, guess its all about what you want out of the car. If I where you stay with the X, if things get rough economically then consider trading in and get a cheap 8.

I'm going to disagree with what you said Sir.
I have a 8 & 10 both MR's, if your a passenger and you close your eyes you can't tell the difference in ride from either.
The seats in the 8 are softer too for longer rides.
Sure the 8 feels more nimble, but is it???
