It looks like they took the hood off of a Mustang and the gauges from an Audi.

Oh wait, isn't Subaru barrowing a certain GM platform for an up coming vehicle, only after in what some people may consider whoring out the WRX one? Nobody's perfect. If it's not Subaru, it's crap. |

I like the overall look....not too fond of the headlights though. I feel like I am at a fancy restaurant looking at the 8 forks on the side of my plate wondering which one to use next.
I agree with the pricing though, for that kind of money I would have an STi. |

i like the Mazdaspeed6, but, like the S60R, all the power is needed to move its big fat arse. they are kinda heavy.
CURB WEIGHT: 3630 pounds (est.) 0 TO 62 MPH: 6.6 seconds (mfr.) 6.6 sec, IMHO just isn't really that fast, considering the Forester XT will do 5.3. for 30 large, i'll take an STi, too. (or, of course, the GTP or WS6! )

You of all people should know that the mfr's estimates mean nothing. Porsche is also famous for under-rating their cars performance potential. With that much power in a 3600lb vehicle, sub 6 sec 0-60 times will be the very achievable (maybe even mid 5's). Besides, something tells me the Hp rating may be a bit low - with a 9.5:1 compression ratio and 15.6 psi of boost - I bet the car is making closer to 300hp at the crank. -Chike

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. Quote:
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. |

-Chike 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.

Ok I feel that I must clarify. I am speaking only of the Mazda 6s. I do not have any experience with the Mazdaspeed version. I am not comparing it to other cars...only the 6s. The automatic version of the 6s that mandi and I priced was $28,650. So I get the feeling that they may be understating the price for the Mazdaspeed car...if not, then there's virtually no reason to not get the mazdaspeed version over the 6s.

B9 (Scrambler) is the hybrid coupe. By replacement he means next expectant FHI flagship.
