Read this article on the Evo 8:

Note the following comments:

"No automatic transmission is offered" as a complaint.

"The trunk is fairly large for a compact car body, but its opening is rather high and narrow."

What does he think he is reviewing? A Cadillac?

Compared to a Cadillac Escalade or some other bus sized SUV it probably is.

Why do people waste fast cars with good handling on the US?
