lol, I was trying to find the post that bumped it and thought the same thing... So pointless... it wouldn't have been a good post if the thread was still alive.

I had a '06 rx-8 for 3 years. Loved it and miss it. Personally, I would be embarrassed to drive an Evo. I now drive a 370z. Yeah it has more power, but I really miss the 8. If mazda comes out with a new rotary car, i'll be first in line to trade in my Z.

My best friend has an evo IX and hates it. Yeah it has good acceleration but is terrible to drive around town. He also hates looking like a rice racer. He took the ridiculous spoiler off and it looks a lot better, but he is planning on getting rid of it. He's thinking about a G37s or BMW 3 series. Time to grow up and get a real car that has performance AND looks and luxury.

Oh, and the girls like the 8 better than the evo IMHO. They also really like my new Z. The evo seems like an immature car and women don't like it as much. Just my experience :D

What?

I've never gotten laid with a stranger chick just because they've liked my car, am I doing something wrong? Where's the ***** magnet button on the dash?

Drunk stranger chicks from bars I take home never remember a thing about my car...

The Evo is just as capable if not more capable of a daily driver in any environment as any G37, 335i, 370z or RX8. Not only does it have AWD, the rear can seat 3 just fine. We frequently stuffed four parents in the back of the Evo IX MR SE and they didn't mind at all. Turbo lag isn't an issue either. Sure the ride may be a bit rough, but it isn't anything to complain about.

That post was absolutely ridiculous. Seems nothing more than a fan boy post.

Not to bash your take on things but to be perfectly honest anytime you drive a car with more than utility in mind a woman probably sees it as some kind of extension of your *****! Performance cars, luxury cars, expensive cars...pretty much anything not meant to get you from point a to point b can be perceived that way. My personal take...drive what you enjoy driving. The thrill of driving only belongs to the person in the driver's seat at that time...if you are driving a Pinto and you enjoy it screw what anybody else thinks! I loved my Evo VIII and I love my Rx-8...both are thoroughly bashed but both are great cars IMHO.

Fan boy of what? Mazda? Nissan? Infinity? BMW? Or maybe i'm an Audi fan boy since that's my daily driver??




"if you are driving a Pinto and you enjoy it screw what anybody else thinks!"

Very humble of you Hornet. I buy the cars I do for many reasons, but mainly because I enjoy driving them. And face it, women do like nice cars... don't pretend they don't. And, despite what you believe, I have never had a girl think my car was an extension of my *****.


BTW, the Evo is an amazing car (performance-wise), but i'd never want to own one.
