It might run rings around a DB9 in terms of speed.
But, in terms of class???


No, it loses in CLASS too. You just don't get it. Enthusiast drivers
want the BEST handling, not the best seat stitching. The DB9 gets
casino respect, but as a drivers car it's not near the top of the
class.


Let's put it this way. Imagine that we both turn up at the casino
in Monaco. Which car will get a parking space at the front
of the Casino? You know the answer! Your Evo will be directed
towards the rear of the building. The Aston will get a space
beside the main entrance.


Wow. You really need some attention. I'd hate for my car to be used in
that way. I just want the most fun driving and top class handling, so
I guess the Evo X was a great choice.



Speed isn't everything. Some places still appreciate pure
class.


Only superficial clods think that way...DONAL. Most educated folks now
know that labels and skins fall a distant second to actual
performance. Cars like the Evo or STI didn't get to be top dogs by
offering value, they did it by BEATING other cars, picking off
automotive legends one-by-one. Beauty and soul are very personal
tastes. If you liked driving and were any good at it then perhaps
you'd know why the Evo is already being tested in stock trim against
exotics. It usually doesn't win, nor is it expected to. But it does
very well, and sometimes better in certain respects...and it has room
for REAL back seats! Top Gear called the DB9 rear seats a joke!
So again...no thanks.




If you can ignore the beauty and soul, and accept a car that offers a better driving experience than the DB9 and can be used in rain and snow, then an Evo is
suitable for you.


Well said, Donal!
