Evolution VIII wins Automobile Magazines Sport Sedan of the Year.

Well in case none of you has got the new AUTOMOBILE magazine yet, The EVO won sport sedan of the year honors. The evo won car of the year last year, but this year the car of the year is the chrysler 300,l while evo took sport sedan section. i would post a link to their site, but it's not on it yet, so you will have to read the magazine article.
just thought i'd let you people know.

funny thing about the forbes 1000 list, if you are on it, then i don't think you really care about a 3OK Car Depreciating.

Awesome... it makes me proud just to own one. I don't need any awards to tell me it's a great car. I realize that everytime I go out for a drive.

This car is made to do everything you tell it to do but if you crash it, it crashes back.

Ahh. Very nice! Had a friend that was debating on a few cars: STI, BMW 325xi, Evo, and RX-8. Granted his wife likes the beamer more (go figure...) he had no clue how well the evo stacked up against other cars. Perhaps this article has convinced him to get an evo.

I like their reply that there is little room for a bigger intercooler/tuning so seeing 500 hp Evo's on the street would be unlikely

LITTLE DO THEY KNOW

Nice write up but I really don't think these guys have a clue about the tuning potential of the EVO! I quote from the article "little tuning headroom on these cars, meaning that you won't see any 500-horsepower Evos". What are they talking about?

I guess that means you need to skip the 500's and go right for 600+.
