For one thing, the seats aren't all that adjustable, especially when compared to our A3. I know that they are more or less racing seats, or supposed to LOOK like racing seats, but do you really want track monster seats when doing the daily commute?
(says the guy with Evo IX Recaros in his Talon)

I dunno Mike. If you were in your 20's, single and freaking loaded, I would say get the Evo simply because of the giggles it would give you, performance wise.
However, like most of us, you are older (and MAAAAAYBE a little wiser....;) )and you want a little more refinement and class in your ride.
$40+K is a lot of coin to pay for a car, so think about it carefully....



I like them too. If I could I would have an RS4 or the RS6 Avant(I dont know if the rs6 is available in north america though)


2g awd, Back to dsms here I come.

You wouldn't like the gas bills that ANY V8-powered sedan would give you. Otherwise, I'd love the RS4 or M5.

I've never cared if everyone else had the same car as I did or not. To me, the G35 is a BMW 3-series that's louder, lacks the refinement and superior handling, but is faster and cheaper.

Don't know about the sedan (if the plumbing is different) but the exhaust note on the G35 coupe/350Z is nothing short of delightful.
If that's what passes for louder, then I'd gladly sign up wink

I keep thinking I want a 350Z (if only for that melodious exhaust note) but then I would simply be one more face in the crowd down here....I swear the dealerships must be giving them away or something....same thing with the 3 series.
In a lot of ways, anonymity is nice, but it's also nice to have something that not everybody else has......that way it can get stolen quicker wink LOL.

EFFIN AWESOME!!!

I always thought they KILLED the appeal of the S4 when they decided to shoe-horn that aluminum V8 in there instead of the "oh so cool twin turbo V6" wink

If I drive out of boost, I get amazing gas mileage (600-700kms/tank) which isn't an option with the V8.

That '10 S4 looks like my new ideal perfect vehicle.

Great find, Dan...........hmm, GROUP BUY?

btw, I love that S4 badge on the brakes, that just screams mean.

".................Expect the new S4 to compete with the BMW 335i for efficiency but the Audi probably won’t have the edge in performance and will cost significantly more............."


OOOOuuuuuch.
The 335i is a costly piece of hardware......if this new S4 is MORE, then I might need to rethink this.

c'mon Dan, do the American thing and finance it through the ass on a new 7 year loan!

what could possibly happen - I've never heard of new cars decreasing in value or anything.

I have only seen pictures of the new EVO X but never saw it in person. Last night, I was on highway 7 near 404 and there I saw a white one with some sort of aftermarket exhaust making a right turn onto highway 7. The exhuast looked a lot like the HKS carbon Ti but stainless steel and it was hanging on an angle as well.

Fast forward, he was ahead of me and we were about to enter underneath the brigde of 404 and highway 7 and he pulled it and pulled it hard.I think he was toying with another lancer, the '03 model. Man I have to say, the sound and how quick that thing was incredible. The white with the black accents in the front really look amazing. I think it was the lower model which I think is the GSR (right?) because I didn't notice any HID's.

Car stands out, there is not doubt about that.

Well I test drove a G35X last night. Man that interior is mint. Makes the Evo interior look like an Echo. It had some balls but not a tonne of power. The transmission was nice. It had a standard mode, a sport mode and a manual mode. The shifts were pretty quick too. The AWD only kicks in when needed otherwise it puts all the power to the rear wheels. It sure had a lot of nice features while still having decent power and looks.

Then I went to the Cambridge Mitsu dealer but they were closed. This was about 7:45... I thought car dealers were open until around 9:00 on weekdays? They have a black and a blue EVO I could see through the window. For colours so far I don't like black or silver, I have to see a dark grey in person to judge. I kinda like white but I will never own a white car again since they look so dirty so quick. So I am thinking red, blue or dark grey.

So I have to decide, do I want to hit the road tracks or 1/4 mile any more? If not why not go with the G35 and use my bike for play time. If I do want to do any racing then the g35 is not the car. Tough choice ahead of me. The test drive of the G35 impressed me... it really is a gentlemens club car.

I was at KW Mitsu a few weeks ago and took a seat in
the new Evo, and I liked it. The shifter felt good
the seats where really nice.

Then I saw the price and I thought the car was not that
geat for that amount of money it should have more.

There are alot of nice cars new and used nicer than that. I
think the Evo is around a $35-37 thousand dollar car new.

I agree with you Mike smile

The G35 will make you feel all grown up, sophisticated and mature like. The Evo will make you feel like a 14 year old, giggling with a stupid grin on your face. (nothing wrong with either.....boys will be boys)

I like the dark grey (or "graphite grey pearl" as it's called )
Slap on the factory spoilers and side sills, and you have a nice looking car.

But hey, the G35 is like sitting in your living room and driving, and I can't deny the appeal of that.

I wouldn't go for the AWD in a car like that, though. The RWD with traction control is more than sufficient, and you won't get as many urges to play Rally-boy in the snow with a G35. wink

Aside from a 1/4 mile car or something for extreme Winter driving (and probably not by me) I don't think I'd own another AWD car...
