That's absolutely true. But there are still much nicer equipped cars out there that are as reliable, if not even more reliable. Geez you can get just about the exact same car from Ford (Taurus) for $4000 less. Granted it's ugly, and boring, and a piece of junk. But, same engine, same platform...etc.

HAHA...my WS6 has red guages.
I am the complete opposite of you in this area...I think the red looks awesome, and the indigo is too 1980's Tron-like. If you want Indiglo get a Timex. Plus, every Fast & F***ing Stupid wannabe has indigo guages.
Though just like you, I would take a G35 coupe over any of the above mentioned cars. Even the GTP.

Oh yes, Ford having a huge share in Mazda is a huge downer for the Mazdaspeed6. With it using the same AWD system as the Focus RS which is a homogenization of the current WRC winning vehicle for couple of years in a row. Which has its lineage from the all infamous Escort Cosworth, not to mention putting Ford on top of the manufacture's list, disgusting Ford. And using the same base engine too, which was ironically engineered by Mazda, shame on them. And too use a platform that now Ford is sharing off of, now that’s a new low.

I don't get it...is this sarcasm?
Ford's parts on any car other than a Ford is unfortunate. They need to worry about making decent cars under their own badge...before screwing up other companies' offerings as well. One of the biggest things I have against the 6 is that stupid Duratec V6.
I do agree with one part in your statement though, the general population of this site seems to believe that Subaru is the only company that can make a worthwhile car. It's is a weird place, this "SVX Network". The rules of the regular world don't seem to apply here. It's one thing to love a particular car (I do) but quite another to hate every other car out there. That's going a bit far.
