I wonder how long till the dreaded "evo conversion" starts popping up in discussions.

I am still trying to figure out how you were outclassed.

Maybe he just feels his 35K car was not in the same league as the 100K car guys. No matter. You at least have piece of mind with your mpg...LOL

me? probably was

Car? let's see... a $250k lambo, $120k Porsche and a $100k Maserati. Yea my $35k Mitsu was definitely not in the same league!

I would still rather drive an Evo. Always have liked them better. If I had a choice I would take the Lambo, then sell it. Buy an Evo or 2 or maybe 10. Then pocket the money.

Dude -- hah. The HorseShoe Casino in Bossier City is giving away a Lambo this Saturday!!

I can afford an Evo but I'll probably never be able to buy a Lambo. Winning such a car would be a "one in a thousad lifetimes" opportunity that would be a shame to give up.

I would probably keep it - if I could afford to do so - drive it all over town and then park it in the garage right next to the Evo.

I'm trying to find a GT-R at MSRP (which is nearly impossible).

I figure drive it for a month or two and then resell it for either what I paid or $5k over.

At least I could say I owned one that way

true that. Theres not much difference when you are driving an evo, a maserati, a porsche, or a lambo. Your pride for your own car is what matters the most. So in my theory, you did not get outclassed.

What's the best price you've found so far? My local Nissan dealership is getting 4 -- and they're already sold!!

If your local nissan dealership is nissan of mckinney, unless you talked to the owner, you didn't get anything near real info.

Most in Dallas are "offering" MSRP + 25,000.

Supposedly some in Louisiana are offering $5k over MSRP (not verified).

I really can't blame the Nissan dealerships since they are having to pay so much to get the GT-R certifications... the GT-R should have come here as an Infiniti.

Over the last couple days I've spent quality time at local Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Infiniti dealerships (time to get the wife a new car). The 90 minutes I spent at Nissan of McKinney was horribly painful. Totally the wrong way to sell a car.

$100K? shhheeeit. That's a lot of money to pay for a Nissan - even if it is AWD and has 480HP. I didn't talk to the owner - it was the GM that said that.

I guess that Evo X MR is sounding more and more appealing considering the choices. With some bolt-ons, tune, and a suspension upgrade I imagine you'll have a comprable driving experience -- and at half the price!!

ya, $100k isn't happening.

And I don't need no stinking MR, I knows how to shift da gears myself! X is heavy enough, no need to weigh it down more!
