How? The quality of the materials is significantly worse.

How do you know the material got worst?

its subjective.

His point is that the interior as far as asesthetics is vastly superior to the IX. Including the seats.

You mean there's someone in the known universe who prefers hard, brittle feeling plastics and the creeks and rattles that go along with them to the compliant, nicely textured materials in the previous generation? Interesting.

It's all about the look. Why, of course!

I disagree, I had leather in my IX and thought it was pretty good, but my buddy has cloth in his and well, that is just gawd awful ugly but thats just my personal opinion.

Ive never been in an evo that doesnt have atleast some rattling...and ive probably been in about 10 now in my lifetime. The evo X I test drove was the best IMO, but obviously its hard to compare leather/suede combo seats to just cloth. thats apples and oranges

Mine doesn't. It did have a glovebox rattle at ~10K and I fixed it. Other than that, nothing.

Have no idea The evo X I test drove was the best IMO, but obviously its hard to compare leather/suede combo seats to just cloth. thats apples and oranges
This is just about the covering on the seats? Like for real?

Out of sheer curiosity, did you actually read any of this?

Yeah I did, I'm kidding about the goat

But I don't think you have written one positive thing about the X vs the IX in this thread.

The point is, there's such a thing as reality. Whether you, personally, like it or not is of no consequence to its existence.

In your case reality translates into fanboishness. Someone said the Evo X interior is nicer, which it is, it has better ergonomics, better layout, nicer gauges, nicer leather. So then you bring up that IXs have better interior plastics, ok I can agree on that I haven't done a test per say which is actually better but ok maybe your right on that. Then you state that IXs seats are better too, really? Like are you serious? Every magazine I have read ,every person, and IX owner I have met that sat in my car said " Dude your seats are amazing" So sorry if you come off as a fanboy to me but I call'em like I see them.

This isn't entirely true. Do you want me to expand on that? It's now up to you.

Then you state that IXs seats are better too, really? Like are you serious?
I never said anything of the sort. I ask again, did you actually read this thread?
