possibly, but they will draw the line eventually realising "no actually this is damn ugly i'll get something i can actually pose in" as most of their business friends won't know what the hell all the stuff it comes with does or means!

If I had nearly 50k to spend on a car it deffo wouldnt be an Evo or scooby, both are fantastic cars no doubting that but there getting pretty common now especially the scooby, id rather have a Noble which is just as fast if not faster and will hold its resale value better than both cars because of its rarity

What the hell are those daft things on the roof in aid of? Did it not look stupid enough anyway?
I can't help thinking there is a law of diminishing returns that comes in to play when you start wringing out one type of car by adding more power and losing more weight, and adding more price. Many people said a £17k Corsa C GSi was too much money for what, although very attractive, had priced itself out of the market except to a very small number of buyers with no care for losing loads of money.
Same thing here I feel and as for the 'beating bikes / beating supercars' comments, yeah on paper. If you want to do it on roads, and wet roads at that, I'd put a good driver in a moderate car against anyone who fancies some nice pub talk specifications which they can't put down.
Nice car but you'd need to be good not to look stupid driving it badly. I personally would buy a comfortable car for that money and quit while I'm behind trying to win races.

Easier to drive i would imagine. Less chance of losing your license and surely cheaper on the insurance.

Posers car?  and a convertable poncy M3, whatever floats your boat...I'd rather something thats a real driver's car than an over weight barge that won't go around corners and doesn't even go very well in a straight line

and I don't think an Evo is aimed at a businessman, most probably don't even know what an Evo is nevermind see any car over their 318i badge. The Evo is a drivers car and I pray to god none of these end up in idiotic posers/businessmans' hands who don't know what the car is all about. They can stick to their boring M3's and I'll stick to something thats tailored to my taste. Give me a turbo car anyday with my choice of engine components, chassis etc

Grow up. Its a nice comfortable cruiser. Couldnt give two fucks about its handling or straight line accerleration. I'd buy a fucking Chaterham R500 if that was my main concern.

hahahahahahaha @ nik being all offensive because people cant stand the evo
personally mate, i think you should GTF because you seriously seem to have your cock right up your evo's exhaust How can you call an M3 a barge ?!?!....i believe you need to go and get your eye sight sorted, as if you LOOKED instead of talking out your arse majority of the time you would see that the evo is a RECTANGLE and a BIG RECTANGLE at that. Where as the M3 designers actually thought beyond the usual car shape and incorporated some CURVES...you do know what CURVES are dont you? 
And a "Drivers Car"?! how'd you come to that?...a drivers car would be a GT40, AC Cobra, a Caterham, Tiger, a supercar (enzo, F1 etc), a bentley etc Not an evo, nor scooby. Those are for the men that are having a middle age crisis and thinking that there 17 again, but cant buy a propper sports car because they have a child (or more) and doesnt have the cash to purchase a decent luxury family car that has performance. Its like people who buy boxters - there basically people who cant afford a 911, yet beause they need a willy extention they have to settle for a boxster
on top of this you say that it isnt a possers car....where have you been living for the last 5 years or so?!?!?! every fecking 20yr old estate agent, window sales person, balding 30 yr old man and their dog have either an evo, scooby or a bmw of some sort hence why scoobys wacked on gold wheels and hence why evo's dont produce a 3door version...because they manufacture them toward these people.
so in conclusion, instead of calling people pricks because you cant take it that a minority of people agree in brown nosing evos, i would go eat humble pie
