And on a twisty road the Evo will out-handle the AM. And in rain or snow the Evo still performs. If you want handling and brute speed, don't bother with a slow AM. Get the new Nissan GT-R, which is among the best supercars built today. I tried to get one and am on a waiting list. I wonder what sad car poor Donal drives. R. |

Here. Donal....here is part of Jeremy Clarkson's review on the new X
in Euro trim. Mine will actually be a bit faster since I'm getting the Ecutech upgrade. Read this if you have any interest in cars with more than "heart and soul" but also actual spirit to perform. "The heart and soul in question was its ability to remain composed and absolutely controllable in a lairy, tyre-smoking four-wheel drift. No other car I’d driven was able to do this, even slightly. It was exquisite. The new car is even better because when you turn into a corner it’s the back that steps out of line. This means that even the portal through which you must pass to get at the meat and veg is full of hair- tingling joy. Of course there are lots of buttons you can press to make the handling different but those are for geeks and bores. All I can report is that the basics of this car – the core – are monumentally, toweringly, eye- wateringly brilliant. Then there’s the speed. Yes, a Ferrari 430 is full of brio and passion but get an Evo X on your tail and I guarantee that, unless it’s being driven by a complete spanner, you will not be able to shake it off. And now comes the really good news. When you have finished at the track, the ride home is not bad either. Certainly it is way softer than the Evos of old, much more comfortable. Also, the X doesn’t require a service every 300 yards. And it’s garnished with higher- quality plastics as well. Oh, and I nearly forgot. It has the single best touchscreen central command sat nav system I’ve found in any car. It’ll even give you the average speed, in a graph, of each of your past 20 journeys. And of course it’s got four doors, seating for five and a boot, which despite the fitting of a Grateful Dead bass speaker was still large enough last night to accommodate my daughter’s back-to- school requirements. " Now this might sound like some fanboy if it didn't echo every other review and my own driving experience with the car. Oh, and Ozzy's too. Please let up know when you get the AM. R. |

However, I will be doing an advanced driving course in a DB9 towards the end of the month. Would you like me to give a report? Or, if you are impatient, I can give you a report of a test drive tomorrow night!! Do you think that I should test drive an Evo instead? Two litre against 6 Litre? 4 cylinders against 12? Plastic against Leather? When Thomas is a bit older, he will be very embarrassed. Regards Donal -- |

BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Do you think that I should test drive an Evo instead? No. The Evo's AYC and S-AWD systems are very advanced driving tools. In fact AYC in a lesser form in only found on one other car which costs quite a bit more than any AM. You're better off keeping it simple with a basic RWD and anything with power will do. Two litre against 6 Litre? 4 cylinders against 12? And yet my Evo manages to hit 60 MPH first and beat the AM in track times. Odd. Plastic against Leather? You do realize that leather is actually a no-no for a proper driving seat, right? In fact the leather seats in the Evo MR ave suede bottoms for just that reason, but even then tuners will swap out for proper cloth. Donal, every time you post you slide further and further! When Thomas is a bit older, he will be very embarrassed. He doesn't even know you! R |

Did you hear about Shu in the taxi this summer? Plastic against Leather? You do realize that leather is actually a no-no for a proper driving seat, right? In fact the leather seats in the Evo MR ave suede bottoms for just that reason, Suede isn't leather? but even then tuners will swap out for proper cloth.
