    The 8/9 is quite different from the X. I suggest driving a good running example of each, and figuring out what you like, what fits your needs and feels best.

    I've had my 8 for 3 years, it's been about as trouble free as it gets.

    I don't think you'd run into a parts shortage. I have a X MR, the dual-clutch, its pretty legit techno-wizidary but it's expensive to maintain and god forbidden it breaks as they're worth basically 1/3 of the car or you'll ship it to Colorado and not see it for 4 months -.-

    Believe this is key as well. Compared with a friend of mine's Evo X, I actually continued search for an Evo 8.

    welcome. I was able to test drive a viii, ix and a x. The x definitely is different. I did believe what other said that its DD friendly. It does feel safer and much bulkier. I was surprised at how small the trunk space was for the x. As with everyone's else recommendation, i would test drive both to get a feel.
