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 |

I'm really supprised that considering how much more livable the 6 is, almost nobody has chosen it... I'd much rather have the Mazdaspeed if it were my only car- best balance of space, style, prestige, and speed imo... If it was strictly weekend toy, however, the Evo is pretty f'in hardcore...

If it was strictly weekend toy, however, the Evo is pretty f'in hardcore... usually when people dream about buying a vehicle they dont dream practically or rationally... usually the thought is "well id just get this one and id keep my current car as a daily driver" so practicality is usually a moot point when you are dreaming  the other thought is the STi and EVO are pretty practical rides the only negative is their harsh ride, most of us are used to extremely harsh rides with modified suspensions and such so it doesnt matter too much.
