Good Lord!
I knew that the Evo was cheap, but I didn't realise that
it was that cheap.

Is it true that the top speed is only 165 mph? If so, why do
you think that it could compete, in terms of speed, with a DB9?

Where can you do even 165MPH?



We all know that it cannot compete in style, looks, fit or finish,
but you were claiming that the Evo could outperform the AM.
If its top speed is so low, then it couldn't possibly beat the DB.

Yes indeed it can outperform the Aston.
Sort of like the all round race boat compared to the downhill sled.



We all have our dreams. Why are your's so unambitious?

Unambitious is not wanting people to stare at your car when you park
it?


Oh c'mon Oz. People *will* stare at an Evo when you park it. It is
so bloody ugly that they won't be able to stop staring. Any admiring
glances that it gets will be from the lower socio-econimic groups (to
put it politely). Most of the "stares" that it attracts will be from
people
who understand that the driver couldn't afford the car that he really
wanted. It makes the same statement as the Subaru Imprezza(sp?).

In Australia, I suspect that the poorer parts of the Aboriginal
population would be impressed by the Evo.

Most people won't stare at an Aston because they won't recognise
it.
