The other Evo X videos on YouTube are better, IMO. That car looks fucking awesome. If I bought one, however, I would want to spend thousands of dollars upgrading the interior. Stock is too much plastic.

Crappy interiors have always been the Evo way. Except for the front seats, the VIII had the worst interior I've seen in any car since an '80s econobox.

Trans Am still takes the cake IMO for worst interior...

Ugh, so ugly. Corvettes have a nice interior! Well, not when compared to luxury cars.

The EVO and the Firebird both have interiors that are pretty much a pile of parts thrown together from other cars just because they're cheap. They could've at least given the EVO a nice steering wheel. That thing looks like it was pulled from a bumper car. I hope they have an option to ditch the big wing also. They said it would be possible at one time.

It's great that they're building this thing. It's a little on the expensive side though. Another 5 to 8 years and that technology will trickle down to more reasonable price points. Maybe they'll have a slightly less powerful version with most of the cool features for mid to high $20's, I hope.

Arent those paddle shifters kinda useless? How are you supposed to change gears when turning, those paddle shifters are supposed to be attached to the steering wheel.

especially in a manual

if you need to use the cigarette lighter as a power source and you hit 3rd, you smash your knuckles!

AFAIK when driving a car, you don't change gears while cornering.
