i just read the sport compact car magazine test drive preview of the mazdaspeed6 and they gave it glowing marks. they said dry pavement handling was great and the wet traction issues and understeer on the preproduction car was being corrected for the US launch. i thought since our friend from Aurora/Around put so much faith in magazines/car of the year type s*** he might like that, but I then I remembered that he bought the wrong car and that if the car didn't have 3000 horsepower and do warp five in a straight line it wouldn't impress his friends and give him the validation he needs in his life from others since the handling argument just didnt work on them.
