And that is where the list ends...

Not for people older than 21...

not a big fan of the evo, but it's a very quick car i admit...

here it costs about the same price as the 330i

They manufature them, BMW obviously designed them.

Judging by the contours undrneath the "camo" it looks as if Mitsu followed the design cues from the concept EVO X.

I was going to buy one of these before deciding to buy the BMW. I still want one. The wife wants a BMW, so we're "compromising". I'll probably get an Evo X in the future though. I LOVE the new styling.

When it comes to bang for the buck you can NOT beat an EVO or an STi.

04-05 for the win indeed, though the 06-07 is growing on me.

The 08 is going to look like a Mazda, mark my words. EVO wins the next generation styling department in my book.

bang for the buck...I am not sure. ~30k to get a fast 0-60 car and that is it?
Overall, it would be way down on my list, below Camry and Accord for example. As I said, if the look is correct on the pictures, then it ONLY has two thngs positive -- speed and looks. Looks are subjective, though. The rest is just the toy-like feeling in it.. Just like, for example 350z.

Although the EVO and STI does fairly well in a straight line IMHO it wasn't made for 1/4 mile drags. It's true character comes to life on a track. I once had an EVO 8 and off the show room floor I had a car equipped with 276hp, Brembo brakes, Advan Tires, Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel, aluminum hood/fenders, and lighter than usual windows are just a few of the "standard" items on all evos at the time.

The evo was a BLAST to drive it handled very well and was extremely resposnive! It handle like a "shifter kart" lightning quick steering with very little body roll. It's only draw back to me was it wasn't very practical for my lifestyle. As intended everything was geared toward performance and no luxury at all. As a family guy, the EVO felt a bit small.

IMHO the evo and sti are the best bang for the buck sub 35k for a track ready car.

I like the concept car, except for the Lexus IS-like tail lights.

I suggest you take all those cars to the track and report back.

350Z doesn't have a whole lot of power, and it's a little heavy, but it handles like it's on rails.

Evo & STi have a very good power-to-weight ratio and excellent handling. To make a good track car out of one all you'd really have to do is strip the interior and add some stiffening where necessary. With a slight upgrade in power (all you need is a turbo-back exhaust and a ECU piggyback to make 300whp on the STi), you can eat Porsche's, Ferraris, etc. on the track every day. And still put down a high 12-low 13 on the quarter mile if you wish.

350z has 300 HP, I'd think that is enough for a 3350 lbs car (almost the same #s like 335).
My best buddy has it so I did spend some time in it -- handles well (but not as well as e90), sound is great, 6MT is better than the Bimmer. However, the feel and the sound of the frame is

SO, again -- OVERALL, I still do not consider it a "bang for a buck"

As for EVO -- similar thing --track ready, blah, blah...ah wait, it is a regular HWY from my home to work, not a track stuff...
So, unless you live and work on the track, I don't see it really as the best bung for a buck...
I'd rather think that G3x is the best bang for a buck...just IMO.

Exaclty my point,the EVO was a track bread vehicle off the show room floor. For hardcore entusiast this is a bargain. And because it lacked creature comfort and luxury I traded it for an e90 which IMO is a perfect balance of sport/luxury.
