A sure indication the Evo owners are far more discerning than
others...

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

The old Evo’s interior was cheaper than a one-star Romanian hotel. The new
Lancer’s interior is a bit more upmarket, but it’s still a third-rate
romance, low rent [Buick] rendezvous.

I think there are probably three people in the whole of Usenet who actually
care about this crap. You notice that neither Bob nor Oz has once mentioned
sailing. Instead they go on and on about some crappy sports car, as though
that defines them as men. What a joke. I drive have a used jeep, a used
ranger pickup, and a nice older mercedes. I don't need to impress anyone
with my car nor would I want to nor did I ever want to, even when I was
20-something.

If this thread isn't bad enough, there are two more of the same bs.

At this point, I've killfiled both of them. The discussion was entertaining
for a while, but now it's just dumb.

Actually the all leather interior and superb sound system is very very
good...did I mention that this same website rated the Mustang as the
best sports car....Many would wonder why it was even in that
group..must be the fact that the roof comes off....

I rarely sail these days....Flying has taken my interest...I drop in
from time to time to watch the goings on.

Well.... Oz.....

I used to believe that you drove a Ferrari.

If you really do have a Ferrari, then you are demeaning the Marque.

What on Earth is the point of a good sound system in a car that
doesn't have any sound insulation?

You cannot hear the music anyway!!!

Donal, Ozzy's quite right. The sound system is pretty amazing and the
navigation interface is beyond what comes with the DB9. There is less
sound insulation in a Evo X, but not for a reason you'd understand or
appreciate. But there's still plenty of insulation to enjoy the 650
watt system with powered sub and 9 speakers. Rockford Fosgate designed
it to quell aftermarket desire. It does.
