Very nice, I got to see an Evo with BBS wheels in person outside of my house the other day... attractive cars for sure.

Did you notice how substandard the interior is as well? Oh man do I miss the TSX's interior.

I did not see the interior, but I looked at some pictures on the website and it does look less refined than the TSX interior. Still, for the best handling you've ever experienced plus nearly 100 extra hp, I imagine it is a worthy tradeoff.

I've been doing some long distance freeway driving lately (my usual commute is 15 minutes, mostly city) and the drawbacks of the TSX become apparent. Sometimes I try to pass another car, and the TSX just makes a lot of noise (I uncoupled my resonator) without making a lot of movement. In those situations, despite the sound system and leather interior, I wish I had a faster car.

^Try getting a CAI or Ice box, it gives you an extra 10-12hp. The 6MT gearbox does help to motivate the car though.

Talk about interior, I went to the Auto Show a couple of days ago and sat in the new VW Jetta as well as Passat. Talk about plastic interior and overall downgrade from previous model. The older VW may not be reliable, but at least the interior was top notch, the new Jetta for North America has torsion beam axle rear suspension and rear drum brakes.

Updated the look of the X. 19x10 +25 Advan RSD with custom finished color matched lip. Dropped more, some engine mods, and aero pieces.

Very nice! When I'm done paying my TSX next year, I will consider adding either a Evo or STi on my garage.

looks badass man! wheels are perfect, nice choice.

I contemplated and EVO X when I was looking for my latest car(bought TSX obviously), but I already have a project car and wanted something a little more luxury and "grown up" to cruise in.

Damn that looks good though

You won't regret it. Test drive both first. I didn't like the way the STi drove but it was on my shopping list.

Thanks, I thought about having a more comfortable car as well, why I bought the TSX, but it just didn't fit my style.

Yeah man, those calipers make your car REALLY pop with contrast since the rest of it is black, which might be a bad thing to some, but I think it's executed beautifully. A rolling shot aimed at your wheels would be badass!!

There are actually stickers all over the car, only noticeable in direct sunlight. I know what you mean about not having stickers all over a car. Kind of like me preferring women without tats all over (no offense to any of the ladies of course).

@Euronoob: Mitsu calls it "phantom black" (black w/ gold pearl) but really looks brownish in sunlight. Where I'm at white is everywhere, I rarely see black, red, or silver.

HAHA, I drive very conservatively on the streets. Only time I do any real driving is at the track but that's in the Z.

Is it cuz the TSX is entry level luxury and the lancer went as entry level compact?

If so *runs to car dealership* haha
