The Evo series has always fascinated me, each one having something special about them. The IX is justa beautiful thing, and I'm saving hard to afford in the near(ish) future. The FQ abbreviation always makes me chuckle, even now whan I see one drive by. Some say they are over the top and unecessary, but at least they have a degree of pedigree in being a true racer, unlike some of the crap on the raods with large spoilers and big bore exhausts. I ould say black has to be the colour of choice, it makes it look dark and brooding. One day...anyone here own such a beautiful machine, I would love to know what you think of them now you have one. Thanks for reading D

Evo are lovely car and I would prefer it over the scooby any day (scooby sounds better though). If you was serious about purchasing one then I would advise to do some research on the net first to see what issues/problems you have to look out for. I hope you have a good job aswell as not only the purchase price but insurance and the running costs will be sky high. My evo 9 choice would be the fq 320 as it is easier to live with than the fq 400 and is not to far off its pace. Living in the UK yourself did you see the top gear program with the fq 400 on it ???

Hi Mark, Yes, saw the TG episode, against the lambo, it was awesome. I agree scooby sounds better than mitzi, but that's as far as it goes!! I've looked into it, and I see running costs are pretty high, but the want is higher.

I don't really now them, but from the picture you've posted it looks like a pretty nice car. How much does it cost?

Hey Phlamingo, Base model FQ300 is around £27000 new, a 340 is around £31000. You can buy 2005 models for around £21000 now. The number after the FQ is bhp by the way. FQ=F*cking Quick... They are 0-60 is 4.1 on a 340, top end 157mph. Not bad eh?!
