Now all those dreamers about the X can finally come back to reality. I was one who knew the X would not be as good as the previous models. It handles better, but is heavier and slower. ???

I can't believe this thread isn't being overloaded w/ responses yet. I wanna hear from all the people that said "Don't buy an IX, just wait till the X comes out, it's gonna be the best Evo yet".

Wow, lame. The steering is one of the biggest things I love about my Evo. I don't like the way the X's look anyway, especially the profile. The wheels/wheel wells are WAY too small. Looks out of proportion.

Yup....lets see all the peeps that raved about the X saying it will be better than the IX. I still would like to see an IX and X on the track and see what really happens.....Cant wait for TOP GEAR to get at the X . Im not hating on the X it looks like fun...just not what I expected.

Hell, if I want luxury, I'm getting an M3, 335i or potentially the new 135i

Let us be fair, they said that it is faster through the corners than the 9. It is slower in a straight line, but the Evo's intention was not drag racing to begin with. The thing that bums me out is the loss of the "high-tension-wire responsiveness of the steering." That is what sold me on the Evo in the first place.

Stupid government computers. The hot links are just a little box with the letter 'x' in it. Someone please try to link it here with a different host. Thanks in advance.
