I think its a load of crap. Especially with the Evo. Had they let me drive it, I'm sure I would've fallen in love with the car and probably ended up at the very least leasing the car.
The lancer however, I love to death. I drive that car into the ground. I've taken it off road a few times and she holds pretty well. I needed something a little less exotic, and a little less expensive (the R hurt my pocket book) to drive on an every day basis. I have a cracked vertabrae in my back, so sitting in the R seats for a long period of time isn't the most comfortable thing in the world.
I'm not stepping on any toes, I'm sure there are stangs out there that would absolutely dust the R in a straight line, but there's nothing wrong with a little friendly banter right? I have never been much of a mustang person in general however. Like I said, I come from a german background, my great great grandfather raced for Mercedez benz way back in the day.

Thats the old man himself in the french grand prix. They have one of his cars in the Indy museum.
Golf is something that I have done since I was 8, and the outing is with my boss, so I can't really cancel, although I would love to save myself the embarrassment. He'll probably demote me after the scramble.
And it's not really a brown, its a grey color but it has that brownish tinge to it... I love it. I think it makes the darker accents on the car, and the gunmetal rims look a lot better. Plus, you'll find out when you finally purchase a supercar, buying it in red, yellow, even black just screams 'pull me over'.
EDIT: The color is called 'titanium grey'
