The evo x is a great car. What stopped me from buying the last evo was the interior.Simply put it was garbage and not anywhere near worth the price tag.This new evo has a decent interior,great proven motor,nice awd system and looks better imho,at least when compared to the sti. The evo x is also seeing some nice hp and tq bumps with a few bolt ons.Great car!

Nothing will ever be as good as a BMW, that's what everyone tells me and I listen to them. Why are we not talking about BMW here. It is the "ultimate car machine".

BMWGino, not having a brain to figure things out yourself could be a problem, so don't openly admit that you listen to everyone. The Cadillac CTS-V Corvette ZR1 ( suggested the best performance car available at this time from those that opinion really counts)

Nissan GT-R also has performed in many ways superior than some BMW stock models. Subjectively anyone can desire any model they want, but objectively, figures don't lie, but liars try to figure...

Because it is the Top 10 WORLD Performance Cars and not the top 10 Toyota/Lexus performance cars. Anyway, there are only 5 from Germany on the list.

Ok, the IS-F should be on the list. But the SC430! Are you high.

At least she is not talking about the Chrysler Crossfire. Probable the worst attempt at making a sports car in the 21st century.

They killed the evo with the X !! All they wanted to do is make it more suitable for old people, and thats not what the evo has ever been about. Its been about performance from day 1. Who cares about the interior when you have a car that handles way better than anything in its price range and has better power upgrading potential than most cars worth twice as much!! Ill stick with my IX and continue to smoke Z06's. I hope the new evo does not get chosen as the performance car of the year. The GT-R or LP-560 are much more deserving of it
