Mazda Pleased with MS6 sales; "Hitting Stride"

[vcinsanity1523]

ya i really like the mazdaspeed 6 its an extremely unique car because its performance centered with classy yet casual looks and a very nice luxurious interior and many upper scaled interior appointments and accessories. Yet the car drives like a bat out of hell. In my opinion its 31K well spent. I would buy one. So basically the car should really sell itself if mazda did a better job of advertizing on the thing

I first heard about it from Gran turismo 4, but there was no information about the car in the game cause it is a concept car that you win, so it doesn't say what the Hp is or anything. But after driving it stock for a lap around the Nurburgring, and it came within 30 secs of the Modded Evo MR I have in the game I was like man I wish I knew what the HP is on this bad boy.

Anyway my wife is big into her scrapbooking thing on the internet and she was in a photo competition, the title for one of the pics she needed was for a photo of more than 5 of the same vehicle, so we went by the Mazda dealer (the only way I could get her there is cause she had a thing for the 3) Anyway she sat in the Speed6 first and then went and sat in a 3, she automatically came back and sat in the Speed6, the sales guy was like do you want to take it for a test drive, I'm like ok.
WOW I have test driven 2 Evo's and a STI, but I liked the way the Speed6 is set up, needless to say we originally went just to get a friggin photo 7.00pm that night we were driving home in a new Speed6, and I haven't regretted it one bit.

I won the red one, did you at least win the same color you have now?

So how did everone here hear about or find out about the MazdaSpeed6?

I read about it in early 2005 on another message board - someone posted up a link to the Edmunds "future vehicle" listing. When it went on sale, I couldn't get it off my mind. Every time I started thinking about what my next car would be, the MS6 just seemed to be the one.

It's just the sleeper beast I was looking for. And it doesn't have the prettyboy/metrosexual image of the 3 series or a4.
