Mazdaspeed 6
#1
so, i drove by the mazda dealer on the way to work out, to see if they had any new RX-8's (and they did). while i was there scoping it out, chatting with a dealer, he was saying that Mazda was working on a Mazdaspeed version of the 6. supposedly they were working on turbocharging the I4 and beefing up the suspension. well, i did some more research on it, and they are also working on AWD. I searched the forums and didn't see much on this, so i hope this isn't a repeat. WOW! Mazda continues to impress me. I hope this is true.

Also, the new Mazda 3 looks good. i doubt its a replacement for the protege, but i do think i looks better.

looks almost like a BMW, especially the rims and all. i'd take one, except for the fact that the mazdaspeed 8 will be out by then
and i was also thinking about it. if they push the 6 up to 280 hp, they HAVE TO increase power in the 8, just a matter of time. you can't have a family sedan producing more power than your premeir sports car, that just doesn't happen

cool. I like the 6, my sister just got one on wednsday.
i got to drive his passat; it handled great, but the power was lacking. going 70 i'd downshift into 4th and didn't get that much more power, nothing threw me back in the seat.
then i let him drive my 7, yeah, so much better. it might not be as smooth, quiet, or refined, but dang, it handles just as well and knocks your ***** to the rear compartments when dropping into 2nd at 40 mph! (so that's what those compartments are really for ). i think he was a tad bit jealous of my power, er, of my wankle, lol. i love my TII, i'm hooked power, this car has spoiled me.
anyway, the 6 is a great car at a great price. good handling, great torque and power, and VERY roomy. the seats are also quite supportive. if i wasn't such a rotor-head, i'd get one next year when i graduate from A&M.
