Fuel economy isn't exactly an issue. Both can be converted to gas and I can have the kit from my current car swapped over.

The X is essentially a newer version of what I already own (Galant VR4) with a better awd system, more power as standard with scope for easy tuning but weak points such as the rods on earlier cars. It's more in keeping with my age (28) and love of Japanese cars. Not sure if the boot is big enough for a wheelchair though.

The E55 is bigger and has a lot more toys. Seems to be fairly sturdy aside from the weaklink of the ic pump. 600bhp is possible for an extra £1300-£1500. Boot is more than big enough for my old mans wheelchair but it isn't exactly a car that I can chuck about on the odd countryside hoon.
The evo wont like to run on gas as much as the Merc

Octane rating is different so will upset the turbocharging/fueling and would need a drastic ECU reprogramming.

Maserati GranTourismo S. In a year a good top spec one will have dropped to £40k, I will have banged loads of overtime in and sold the Golf R and then I shall have one!

Not had any issues with the current car and it's twin turbo Mitsubishi engine. LPG ecu controls the fuelling for gas, regular ecu controls boost etc
