The EVO just screams "boy racer" while the TSX is refined.. and considered more of luxury sports sedan like a BMW 3 series sedan or Audi A4.
A EVO needs to be compared more to a Ford Mustang, Mazda RX8 or Nissan 350Z.
RX8 shouldn't be compared with anything...that car is just plain slow...the cars u just named are competition for the S2K. the only car that compares evenly with the EVO is, you should know this, the STi. and the EVO MR spanks it.
well i went for my test drives today. i got to houston late yesterday so i didn't have much time to do anything. i did have enough time to make it to the first mitsu dealership...wish i had stayed home. i get there, and after i've driven 2 hours to houston and another 2 hours thru traffic to get to the dealership, THEN they tell me about the "no test driving EVO" policy. talk about i was PISSED. so i asked the guy, u expect me to drop 36k on a car i've never driven? you're crazy. they he was like people do it all the time, i was like yeah, stupid people maybe. there's no way in hell every EVO sold wasn't driven till AFTER they signed their life away for it. he insisted that it was. talkin about he sold like 12 EVO's in the last month like that (after he'd already told me the 2 EVO's he had were the only 2 they've had for the past 2 months....) i didn't think about it till after i left, but i wanted to tell him...IF you sold 12 EVO's in one month, i know u made some money because y'all sell'em at full list...so why haven't u used some of that money to get your teeth fixed? dude's grill looked like somebody dropped a grenade in a field of baked beans and stuck what was left over in his mouth...anyway, i left there and called the acura dealership that had the TSX 6speed...well the guy i had talked to was gone, so another guy took the call. and he's like, i dont know why he told u we had a 6 speed TSX, we haven't had one of those in like 3 months. and im like, son of a BITCH. so i basically drove out there for nothing. so i spent the night at my boy mike's crib out there and i planned to salvage the trip by making all my rounds at the other dealerships today...i called around to other mitsu places only to find that the no driving rule was in effect for all evo's, and still nobody had any 6speed TSX's, and i have alot of shit to do at home, and work at 6am tomorrow, and i was just disgusted with all the bullshit, so i just got on the highway and came home. i fuckin hate houston. im buying from baton rouge or new orleans, f_ck texas. it's been a bad two days. i got NOTHING accomplished except i stopped at a honda place out there to have my oil changed... and i still have no idea which car im gonna get now...and i wasted my two days off...i see now why God didn't make humans with super powers...because i would have abused the hell out of'em today. i woulda killed Mr. Beans and leveled that dealership just because i could...i hope he gets hit by and EVO...anyway, im out
