Lastly, the EVO is put together very well, with decent plastics quality and a fairly nice design layout. It's not going to win any awards for interior style or ergonomics, but to be fair everything that I needed was intuitively placed to be right at hand immediately when called upon - what more could I ask.
OK, I've got one request. How can I get one licensed in Canada? Waiting until the EVOIX arrives, expected to be developed with the Canadian market in mind, will be just too difficult to bear. I suppose I should keep my mouth shut and just be eternally grateful I've had the opportunity to drive something so exquisitely engineered north of the 49th. Or maybe that winter home in Arizona... no wait a minute, not enough curves there... California... needs to come sooner than later.
