You enjoy driving a car that's a handful on a twisty road?

There are comments in the press about its handling.
These comments only apply when driving at the limits,
on the track.
For normal driving it handles much, much better
than an ordinary car. As long as you don't push
the throttle more than half way down, it behaves
like a pusseycat.... an incredibly sleek pusseycat,
that roars like a lion every now and then!

Actually, if you look at the Top Gear review, the cars handling is
pretty much unremarkable. It has gobs of power, though the car is
utterly sloth like in spite of it's power. The car uses a simple wish
bone setup that is simply not sophisticated enough for such a car,
even a rear wheel one. It is a comfortable and quick highway cruiser,
but it is nowhere near the performance levels of many other enthusiast
cars. One might argue that it wasn't designed to be, but that would
totally unhinge your point...which has thus far only made it clear
that you don't drive a sports car.
The Evo X handles better and is designed for tuners. The AM is a rich
girl's toy.
