Well, I was down in Modesto for Thanksgiving with the inlaws, and on Friday we dropped by the Mits. dealer to have a look. They had NINE Evos sitting on the lot, and I got the feeling they were ready to deal. The car does not look as outlandish in person as it does in the pictures, IMO. But the rear wing is still completely out of control. No way I could live with a wing like that.
As for driving it...I loved it. It's the first recent car I have driven in five years that left me thinking "this is as fun to drive as my 15 year old Carrera."
Suspension is tight to the point of harshness. Grip is outrageous. Brakes are Brembos and are HUGE. Brake feel is right up there with a 911, and steering is just fantastic. Power was very good, even with four adults in the car, but I think I have to reserve judgement because I don't feel comfortable really opening up cars that are not mine. I did redline 1st and second gear, but did not go over 60 mph or so. LOTS of headroom, and I still had 2 clicks to go on the seat adjustment (I'm 6'3, 195lbs.).
So I've got a decision to make.
I know it's not a Porsche, but the four doors mean that I could drive a fun car a whole lot more frequently. My 911 is pretty much a coffe-run and backroads driving car now. I can't put my infant in the back seat.
