Well all the magazine said that the US will finally have the same Exo spec as the rest of the world, but I think the US will be a little heavier then the JDM do to the crash beams.

Thats good. It means it still has tight steering.

Because turning radius is how I determine the relative progress of an automobile line. Just because one thing hasn't changed doesn't mean the car hasn't changed drastically.

No that means you will still need to do 3 pt turns.

I'm saying that this aspect of the car has not evolved. Just trying to give some information.... And don't you think that with an entirely new platform that there might have been some difference in this well known problem area? I am obviously not saying there are no changes between the VIII IX and X... Is that what you thought I was saying?

I'm sure it is.. it says it has Eibach springs.. so I'm betting at least .5" lower.

How much do you want to bet it handles better than any previous Evo, but will always be tagged as having "slow steering response" ? Some ficticious x-factor that people just can't put a finger on unless they have some mystical "grasp" of all things automobile, even though it will outperform any stock Evo ever made? Just like the Evo interior bashing compared to the STi has continued to this very day. The most important part of the interior is what you sit in, stomp on, and grab ahold of...and all 3 of those parts are infinitely better in the Evo...

DANG.. and to think everyone was all hyped about this "thing" SO the warranty sucks but still what evo owner still has one. still scary that it has been cut though.. am thinking **** is gonna break sooner..

Either way slowly but surely the vast majority are going to realize your expectations for a new EVOLUTION have not been met.. Hopefully the XI if there ever is one is better.. as this one is st8 up thrash..

JDM and US models now use the same Aluminum crash beams.
