although I've never driven the evo myself, I can't see/picture myself driving it. In socal, it's a cop's magnet. The s2k isn't much classier or anything, but at least you won't gain that sort of attention. I'm considering the s2k myself. But, if money permits (more like I don't want high payments), I'd go for the new 3 coupe instead.

btw, honda dealers aren't exactly what I call pleasant, imo of course.
