lol that's funny. the mazdaspeed6 isn't meant to compete with the EVO. even if it was, it couldn't. it's alot slower, and can't keep up with the handling. it's made to compete with other sporty sedans, not an all out sports car like the EVO. the only competition the EVO has is the same it's always had. the Subaru STi

yeah only people who will buy this car are those who only like mazdas or never heard of sti or evo, or i guess those who like to spend money on gay luxury items such as a 7 inch screen, i'd rather have more power under the hood than luxury

Oh also this is NO comparison to the evo. Handling is wack and its not that fast its like putting a 02 Audi S4 against an 03 evo.
It's not competition with the Evo/Sti - it's more the Camry/Accord set, but it's nonetheless a nice car. I've always liked the body of the current 6. I'd rather have it than the Camry, but I think I'd rather have the Accord...
