They're all done on 1 year production runs. I don't think they're extremely limited, but you've only got one year to get one (new).

That's too bad, I thought it was going to be AWD. A car that size with AWD and decent power, would probably be a nice cheaper alternative to an EVO.

The Mazdaspeed 6 is AWD though isn't it?

Really. So the MS6 is only going to be for one year? Probably for the good. I went by on Sunday just to check them out the dealer had like 8 of them just sitting there looking as if they hadn't been moved in a while under an inch of pollen.

Ha ha, I didn't realize it was that bad. But it was a T25 after all, was it not? 2G DSMers knew that was garbage back in '95. I think the whole car wasn't really engineered to be a robust turbo vehicle,but more like an N/A car with a budget turbo system entireily. The piping and intercooler (and most likely fuel system) are lame too.
