[Dexter]

looks great. def not a boy ricer car.

 

[daedalus]

damn it.. i'm a ric3r...

 

[MSP #167]

it needs different kind of rims...they are pretty boring. Also it sits too high.

The mazdaspeed version of every car that has come out so far are very dissapointing.

why turbo the 2.3 liter...shoulda turbo'd the v6.

 

[Matthew]

looks normal to me. imo it should have SOMETHING special about it.

 

[Swerny]

It's OK IMO, nothing more.

i think the car sucks... styling needs a re-vamp, to heavy and not enough hp.

I love the look of that car! It needs better looking rims because they look out of place compared to the styling of the car.

 

[Rism]

I wonder if it will be as problem ridden as the MSP.

 

[FrigginGLI]

Or if it will sell better than the mazdaspeed miata.

 

[KpaBap]

It handles worse than both but has more power so it should sell better in the USA.

Damn you guys are some haters, have you actually driven the car? Have you seen it in person? Have you sat inside? I don't understand people that slam a car based on 5 pictures and a spec sheet, maybe you just need something to complaign about.

 

[KpaBap]

Yes we're "haters" for wanting Mazda to put out a car that is powerful, reliable AND handles well. I see the light now, how could I have been so blind and asking for so much.

 

[M=SP^2]

How do you know this car won't be all those things. 276 horespower from a 2.3 L is pretty damn good, it should be reliable since the car will produced entirely in Japan (not assembled in port like the MSP), and you don't know how it will handle...no one has driven the car outside of a F1 racetrack yet. The people who are haters just immediately jump to conclusion and start flaming away.

 

[Douggie]

Too expensive. Gonna have a tough competition. I think the subbie legacy GT looks better.

No its not

Thats not even whp

 

[protegeV]

sexy, but could use some nicer rims I admit...

 

[ChiMSP]

I'm not hating on it... but God damn it if i'm gonna spend $30,000 I wan't it to look like a $30,000 car. Regular people won't be able to tell the difference.

Agreed. What's with the big, black plastic fillers around the foglights. Cheez-a-saurus-Rex! I've heard it's very torquey, and should handle pretty well. A turbo six would make great power, but handle worse than a turbo four -- too much weight over the front axle. The four is a decent compromise if it's tuned correctly. I've read one review (Motor Trend, I think), but we'll have to see.

Personally, I would take the new Legacy GT -- it looks the part, and should handle better (flat four sits lower in the chassis).
