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 couldn't agree more! Everything on the MazdaSpeed 6 from the awd system, to the high output 2.3L turbo-charged engine will be top-of-the-line!

P.S. And despite what some people on here think, 27.9K for a 280+hp awd sedan is a darn good deal. The Legacy 2.5GT is in the same price range and has 30hp less. The Infiniti is nice, but a bit too refined for my tastes - this is the same reason why I'm leaning away from the Volvo S60R.
