Another MSP review (well preview)

[Draghkar]

A friend of a friend has recently started an on-line automotive magazine called Sport and Touring Car.com and wanted to review the MSP. He hasn't been able to get one from Mazda yet, so we used mine, primarily so he could get some pics and ride around a little. Obviously I wasn't going to let him beat on my car and he didn't even suggest it. So hopefully he can get one from Mazda in the future to do a thorough review. As it is, he does have good things to say about it and has a few pics, a couple of which are different from the run-of-the-mill ones you usually see.

The article is here:

Umm, some more photoshop work is needed to get the moving effect on that first picture. It looks half-done. Good review though.

Agreed,
Look through the windshield and through the rear window, the trees there aren't blurred...

Good article though, nicely written.
Nice to see another canadian site online!

Yeah, we tried some actual moving pictures but apparently they didn't turn out well. When I first saw that picture I assumed it was just one of the moving shots but I kept thinking "something doesn't look right..."

I will pass along a message that he needs improve his photoshop skills

1000 in Canada?

Yup, that includes the 250 Orange and 375 Titanium and 375 Yellow's. 1000 Total.

There is only 250 orange in Canada. The article makes it sound like there are 1000.
Also, this quote:

The problem is, that over bumpy and crowned roads, the newfound brawn threatens to wrench the steering wheel out of your clasp if you're not judicious with the go-fast pedal.

The "not" shouldn't be there. If you are being judicious, that is when the problems start.
Love those pictures though.

I agreee....
love those pictures!
Grimace, you coming to the pre-meet? haven't seen you reply on my thread.

Still don't have a car L.E. It's all up to the dealer now!
I'm not sure you'd want me showing up with my Asuna, complete with blown cat converter (can you say loud?), cracked windshield, and broken front spring. It might infect all your other nice new cars.
