Thanks for all of your input you guys, I'm just testing the waters, but I figured the best place to find out is through forums, as I am a part of many for the different cars I have purchased.

Just buy a 9. The 9 is reliable, cheap (compared to the X) and is also relatively cheap to work on, and there are lots of aftermarket parts available for it as well. The X will have no aftermarket support and will cost substantially more than than 9. Besides, the X just looks plain fugly and weighs more as well.

Well I like the style of the X, and I like to buy things new for the most part as you never know what and how the owners drove the car. Limited aftermarket isn't that big of a deal as there are a few things I want to change.

The reliability of the Evo is the same as any other car; if you treat it properly it well treat you properly. Granted there are some weak points of the car such as the transmission, but it is still an Evo.

50k here on my 03 VIII and nothing major went wrong. Only problem I had really was the HID ballast on the drivers side burnt out. Replaced it myself with a good used one, and back on the road.
I drive my car hard, but well. I take care of it, and have the basics on her. Hell, still running the stock clutch even and it seems to be holding fine still.

All it's saying about the Evo X is that it's going more mainstream, more luxurious, bigger, etc... I would presume from these kinds of statements that it would be a more reliable car in stock or close-to-stock form.
Also, will the 09 Camaro be built in America, and will the Ferrari Enzo successor be built in Italy?
