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


Hogwash.....It stands out n an automotive crowd because of its beauty!





The Evo is rare. I've seen two and most of my friends haven't even
seen one. But the roads are overrun with BMWs, Porsche, Lexus, Jags,
Bentleys and so on. Most have power, but not much performance in
handling. Most are less rewarding to drive than a Miata. Cars like
MazdaSpeed3, WRX, STI, Mitsubishi Ralliart and Evo X are designed for
small segment of the market place. When you get to the high level of
an Evo X you're getting handling that few cars at ANY price can match.
The inexpensive Speed3 is also an amazing drive. That's what these
cars are designed to do. If you're not into a rewarding drive on a
twisty back road, then by all means get a luxury carr, even a hopped
up one like a Aston Martin or 600 series. If Donal or Marty had a clue
they would have been bringing up cars like the 911 AWD Turbo or Nissan
GT-R. And before the google those cars up....I tried to buy a GT-R,
but they only made 1500 for the USA for 2008 and I don't fit well in
the 911 because of the legroom.
Enter the Evo X
