So I'm watching the History Channel

rip-off of "Top Gear" and they tested the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO GSR ... Good golly Miss Molly, that car was smoking! I may have to add it to the list of possibles as a replacement for the Maxima.

291 hp, AWD, 4 dr, tons of gadgets to assist on any type of surface just a flat out intriguing vehicle. 0-60 in 4.3 (IIRC)

Sounds like just the thing for the 235 track, how much? MPG?

I just can't force myself to watch it, and I've tried.

Driving the cars filled with water was interesting

It was basically background noise for me at first, I just left it on because they were also going to test the Aston Martin V8 Vantage vs. the V12 Vantage. The EVO is quicker than both BTW.

I like the BBC original version much better, those chaps are so cheeky.

I just did the "build and price" and came up with 40k. The mpg is 17/23 which isn't so hot IMHO, the Maxima is getting 26 mpg with 173,000 miles. One of our other options is the Subaru Legacy 3.6 Premium which is cheaper, gets better mpg and the interior is nicer.

I drive on 5 every am from 7D to White Plains so the HP from the EVO would come in handy on the bypass. :zoomzoommuddafudda:

My AWD 245 HP Murano gets 22.5-23 regardless of driving conditions, so I'm not surprised at those numbers.
