What about this?
8 is even more better than 6. I remember seeing the documentary on this car on discovery, it annihilated an evo on its test run too. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliica for more details.

because their sales staff are ******. they have talked themselves out of two evo sales with me. wouldn't let me test drive the car either time, and tried to bone me on my trade.
their service department is average, but they couldn't ever track down my suspension noise. i was there over a dozen times.

Wow, I see what you mean now. I was emailing them about pricing and getting a car with specific options and they instead tried to offer me a graphite car with only SSS for $200 OVER invoice. They then tried to make it seem like a favor by telling me that originally it had a $2,500 markup. Yes, a $2,500 markup on a X. I told them that the standard from most dealers is ~$1-2K under invoice and they claimed that those were the dealers "going out of business". Hah. Will definitely be looking elsewhere if I decide to purchase.
one of my favorite gems they laid on me was from the sales manager at the time when i asked to test drive the evo.
"No one test drives cars anymore. they pick out the one they want on the internet and then just come down and buy it."
it was very hard not to **** my pants laughing right there.
if all of their customers are like that, i need their email database.

Dunno what kind they are. They are made in japan that is all I remember, got them assembled from tire rack, I love those guys! They suck on warmer winter days, but are so worth it when the snow flys. I actually find excuses to go drive my evo.

so im planning on going to NY over x-mas break. My brother and I want to take our skis so we can hit the mountains up there. We thought it would be better to take the evo because our area gets **** loads of snow and his grand-am probably wouldnt cut it. Now the problem is there is no way to fit skis into an evo (logically). Does anybody in here ski or snowboad that uses a roofrack, i know ide probably look like an idiot driving that far with it but hey.

1) buy the roof rack for the ski's/snowboards
2) if there are only 2 of you going, remove the top half of the back seat (very simple) and have a large hole from front seats to the trunk..
just a few options!
