Basic idea is, I was speaking to Maskedman about this topic. (in around about way) We were saying how all the NEW cars, (pretty general rationalization) we wouldnt buy. Long story short, we got into discussing prices, and how EVOs and STIs hold the market for the "sports sedan". Then I remembered running across an article in Car and Driver, or some magazine like that. Saying that Mazda's sport division, MazdaSpeed, was putting out a Turbocharged, AWD, version of there already criticly aclaimed version of the 6. (the Mazda 6 won numerious awards for value, and styling, when it was initially introduced) So it got me thinking, Which would you rather own? and Why? (This is an open poll for discussion, but please do not bash others opinions. Links of facts and specs are welcome to validate points of view) -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |

QUOTE(boosted_K2 @ Sep 18, 2006 - 8:29 AM) [snapback]480930[/snapback] evo is the best car on that list by far performance wise. BTW, there is no 07 evo... it is taking a year off before the X comes out in 08 My bad sorry.

Also I had some idea that GM had some doings with mitusbishi, because the saab 92X had the same motor as the WRX, but i didnt know how much. And like I said, my rational is more for DAily driving rather then racing on a track. -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |
