So, driving down my twisty road, into a deep negative bank, the Evo X
will drift a bit, then the active yaw control system will seamlessly
divert power. Coming out of the turn all four wheels will blast the
Evo into an evenly weighted stance. As you learn to trust the AYC and
the amazing grip you can make such maneuvers faster still. In the DB9
you'd have less grip. With only RWD, the rear end would start to
slide. Stay calm and ease off on the power and you MIGHT stay on the
road, but there's only so much give in a simple suspension. Coming out
of the turn you weight for the chassis to recompose before laying down
heavy power. The DB9's torque advantage is high and she takes off. But
the Evo is already five turns ahead.

Then you arrive at the marina in your Evo, and people are not
surprised when they see you step onto a "vintage" Pearson 30.


Good write-up, Bob, but no banana!

BTW, did you see Jeremy Clarkson's review of the Kia?
