Should I? Why or why not? Who has more potential (looks and performance)?

 

I see a big debate coming up.... I think it is all a matter of opinion, and mine is that I love them both. I would be more than happy with either and they both have their advantages and disadvantages, and they both look sexy as hell.
They are similar but quite a few things are different; timing chain instead of belt, intake and exhaust mivec, coil on plug set-up, alum block, engine 180deg rotated, slightly diff. x-fer case and rear end, option of dual clutch trans, and the X's do carry a few extra pounds around (shame the US didn't get the RS version ). But those are just my .02.

 

Don't get me wrong I love my IX. But there's just something about the mean aggressive look about the X that gets me.

 

Random stranger's opinions should not affect YOUR car choice. Test drive one and see if you like it..

 

depends on what you are going to use it for

 

i would if u are financially capable. test drive and see if u like it over the 9.

 

When the Xs first came out, I remember seeing a lot of guys going from 8/9s to a 10. After a few years passed, it seems a lot of people are selling the 10s and getting back into an 8/9. your call. I personally cant get comfortable in a 10. The way the seat is placed with the armrests on the door and center console is terrible. It just seems like the seating is all wrong lol. The seats themselves are comfortable though.

 

Who has more potential (looks)? How would you guys react if you guys saw a modded IX and a X side by side (exterior and interior)?

 

Keep it and have both if possible.

 

Keep the 9 for sure, I test drove a 10 and it didn't give me that raw feeling that made me love my car when I first got it.

 

I have an 05 evo 8 traded it for an 08 X, then got a 2010 evo x. Traded that for a 335 and now I have a 06 IX mr and cannot be happier. I would say stick with the 9 imho.

 

My vote goes for the IX, bigger hp potential but that all depends what you buy the car for.

 

I myself would opt for the IX. I like the X but wouldn't even consider giving up my VIII to own one.

Maybe down the road I'll buy a used '10-'11. I can think of a few other cars I'd rather own over the X though so we'll see.

As suggested above go drive one see if it's something you could give up your IX for.

 

I agree 100%.. damn a WW X is amazing and I don't even know why

 

I would never ever ever get rid of my IX, let alone downgrading to a X.
