I've just seen the price of the Evo, and I feel that I owe you an
apology.
I didn't realise that it was such a cheap car. It was really very
unfair of me
to compare it to a DB9.

I'm very sorry, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to
accept
my apology.

Regards

Hey Donal, I don't understand how you can compare the two cars. The Aston
Martin is actually beautiful. The Evo seems boxy and cheap looking. Don't
know about the spec diffs, but esthetically, I'd rather have the AM.

As I said earlier in the thread, a car is about
"Power, Beauty and Soul". Each ingrediant adds to
the cost.

Bob can easily measure the power, but he
seems incapable of assessing the Beauty or Soul.

I've placed my hand upon the rear of a DB9, and Bob
has read about the Evo's performance in a cheap
car mag.

The Aston is designed for someone who appreciates
true quality. The Evo is designed for someone who
wants to own a supercar, but cannot afford one.


The Evo makes a real statement about its owner.

Unfortunately the AM has no AWD, so it's useless in any area that gets
snow.

Pretty car, but the "soul" is in your head. Try driving a Lotus Exige
if you want soul.

Sorry, Donal, in the past month I've driven the Porsche 911 Turbo,
Cayman S, Lotus Exige & Elise, Evo X GSR and MR and the mighty GT-R.
Oh, but you've touched a bumper at a Costco? You know nothing at all
about cars.

Hmmmm, even taken at it's worst, Donal is actually throwing the Evo a
huge compliment. That's what many experts agree on; that the Evo X
actually beats many supercars and only costs 40K.


The Evo makes a real statement about its owner.


Only if the owner is a fellow like Donal who thinks a car can define a
human being! Good lord!

Hey, Donal, what does it say about me that I'm buying the best
handling and fastest production car in the world in 14-18 months? And
why do you care?
Probably because my cars are nicer than Donals.

Do you really need AWD in areas that get snow? We get 150-250 inches per
year and front wheel drive or LSD (limited slip differentials) has worked
great for the last 25 years.

Carmel gets 40 inches a year, a "blizzard" there is 22 inches. Call in the
Unimogs!

Do you consider that serious snow?

Ever have to use 4 wheel chains and caterpillar weights because the truck
couldn't push through snow deeper than the windows?

You've lived there about a year, the only time in your life outside of NYC
so now you're an expert.

The thing useless in snow is your driving ability and experience.

It's so funny when someone speaks out...and then sounds even dumberer
than poor Donal about cars!
So let's see...this poor clown thinks AWD is all about snow
accumulation! Oh boy! Probably if the poor toad drove the 2.4 mile
road up into Kent Cliffs where my house is located he'd know that a
easy dusting stops most FWD cars. Everyone here has AWD without
exception because of the hilly terrain.
Now...should I teach him about AWD in a performance car and what
advantages it offers?
Naaahhh!!!


R&T tests.....Aston Martin Skidpad DB9 = .93
And the Evo X pulled a FULL G!!!!!

Does a KIA Sedona have AWD?

Let me know when you get to mountainous terrain.

14" ground clearance?

Granny low and differential locks?

8' snowplow?

I'm sure the EVO and Astin are very nice cars. I couldn't drive either
to my front door, their bottoms wouldn't survive the road, never mind my
driveway.

I don't have a Kia Sedona anymore. We traded it for a SUV. With 50K
miles on it the Sedona was the only trouble free car I owned. I'm
picking up an Outlander XLS for Suzanne, so we'll see how it compares.

Stunning resale value! And you said you were going to keep it for years!

At least you made lemonade with the lemons!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
