Yup...the 4 is more fun and uses less gas!

Okay, so let's get this straight. The Evo X buyer is getting
essentially a bare bones track car that is not very good for daily
driving. This makes it much more of a toy compared to other cars, such
as a BMW 335xi...as an example. Even a 135 is a FAR better DD than the
Evo, but the Evo is still one of the hottest sports cars selling. The
Evo buyer can buy the nice BMW, but instead shells out 40K more or
less (before tuning and upgrades). This is a cheap car? It forces you
to buy at least one other car as a daily driver. My second car cost
32K. My 3rd car costs 22K.
My buddy drives a nice Lexus that cost what a loaded Evo costs. He
thinks the Evo is rediculously expensive. He's right. You're paying
for a lot of engine, suspension and transmission, but the car around
it all is a painted cage. That's the philosophy behind the Evo, just
like the AM has it's own which is NOT designed to compete with a 911
or Evo X.
Donal, you know NOTHING about cars. It's really quite amazing.
