I kinda get what you mean, I love the 456 look but they do look dated compared to the 789 personally the 7 I dont like at all the 89 are sweet but so are the 456 lol all down to personal tastes.. what I did wish would be more "updated" in our cars is the interior but hey they are getting up there in age

It's all down to personal choice but I love my V and it still turn heads so people must like it,if I EVER sold mine (which I don't intend to) then I would like a IX

Usually it turns heads because people are sayin what the hell is THAT!
New cars are so bland ,like the new scubby though!

The VI does look dated now. The VIII (and more so the IX) look slightly more like contemporary performance cars, but I think even the VIII\IX is starting to date a little. The X looks more like contemporary performance cars, but that's fashion for you...something so intolerable it needs altering every six months. My X gets a lot more attention that my VIII did (both were yellow) so I'm not sure if people are subconsciously reacting as my X is something they'll have never seen before, or if it is just because it is more pleasing to modern tastes.

Plus lots of VIs are just banged up chav mobiles these days with I think damages the brand too.

I prefer the older styling of cars to new ones. Always have no matter on the make/model. They just look more 'raw' like they were designed with one thing in mind and it wasn't a pretty face!

I had my 9 when they were still a "new" car but today its not much more modern than a 5/6 when compared to most 2014 model cars.
Both have their +s and -s, my 9 was an FQ360 so its hard to compare it to my track day 5 but it had a decent level of luxury for the price at the time.
They are all getting on now and even the newest of 9's can be getting tatty if they haven't been looked after so its all down to the look you prefer and a bit of luck finding a decent one of that model.
I'm more than happy with my 5 for now but if I fancied a change a 9 RS may well do the job :D

Didn't buy my 6 for the interior ,bought it for grip, roadholding ,exterior looks
All I need in cab is rev counter,temp,fuel gauge,boost gauge anything else is just weight!
I think in years to come though the whole evo range will be defined/remembered
By the shape of the 5/6 and not the 7/8/9/10 and as for"chavs mobile" I could afford a
7/8/9 but chose to have a 6 at least it was a proper rally car lol!

I love all evos. Newer ones and older ons.but for me I had to get a 6. Got the group a rally history. And looks so menacing. It is dated. 1999!! I think it will become a collectors car. For enthuisiacs. But as I said I think all evos are awesome. Love them all!
