I'm not following ya. People that buy Evos buy them for one purpose, Performance. And the new Evolution X is more "refined" thats why they aren't selling. People that want "refined" don't buy Evos. CT9As (Evo 7,8,&9) are built to go fast and turn well, period.
btw, speaking in terms of performance name another car on that list that has gone 9s, full bodied, full interior, no nitrous, street car.
