Default ISX50 vs Evo X

If you could, would you ever trade in your ISX50 for an Evo X?

Not really into speed much anymore... ive had 600+hp cars. I wouldnt want to trade my luxury car for a car with the fit and finish of a playschool toy. But if i was lookin for speed, id get an Evo 9 MR, manual transmission's rule.

Evo's are great cars and great peformance and I would love to drive them since they have great handling.

However, at the end of the day, nothing will beat out the luxury of my lexus. The comfort, quietness, looks, class...well you know it.

I would trade someone for a day to test drive, but I am afraid I would never get it back....

The interior of the evo just simply looks cheap compared to a lexus.

If I wanted an Evo, I'd have bought an Evo.

Evo X is fast. I raced one, but it's damn ugly.
