And to answer Clutch's question, no its not my wife that has interest, its fdl's Nonna that does.

2004 September 23rd

Matsuda, from 23 days announced to the Paris motor show of opening, exhibited ' the European specification mass production model of Matsuda 6MPS ' concept with the same Paris motor show of 2 years ago. Matsuda speed ' ・≪ユ・潟ｋ' as after the next spring, it is introduced in Japan.

Matsuda 6MPS new development 2.3 liter direct injection gasoline turbo engine loaded the technology of "MZR 2.3 DISI turbo" and the active torque control coupling 4WD system etc. "sophisticated high performance" as a development theme.

You say that balance it could point to comfort and the economical efficiency etc. which, are required from the car which does daily life together, in high performance and the higher-order origin.

As for the highest output of MZR 2.3 DISI turbo 191kW/260PS, as for largest torque 380Nm/38.7kgm (EU specification). By the fact that the direct injection system and the turbo engine are combined, torque in the low-speed limits, the engine response was acquired in addition to the acceleration force of the turbocharger, furthermore the clean waste gas was actualized. As for 0-100km/h acceleration 6.6 seconds, as for 80-120km/h acceleration 5.3 seconds.

Opening period of the Paris motor show, press day September 23rd - 24th, general open day September 25th - October 10th.

 

damn, that's nice. and AWD? looks better than the subaru 2.5 gt too.

 

It will probably be in the $29,500~$31,000.

 

It's about time they put navi into the Mazda6

 

Am I the only one who doesnt like the interior.

Sat in a normal 6 when they first came out. Interior is sterile and uninviting. also really in your face.

And to you wussies who need the A/T.....learn how to drive a real car And dont give me some excuse about traffic....I live in LA.

 

I'd rather get tha MPS6 over the evo or subaru. It just straight up looks better. (It's not as ricey as the other two).

 

Sorry. Initially I thought it was funny (since you said your AT TSX was b/c of your wife), but I deleted it because I thought it was in bad taste...

You mods have WAAAAAY too much power!

Edit: 3200 posts!

 

AT drivin' pussies! Power to the people! Long live MT!

 

better than the new subaru, i forgot the name, but this is better. lol

 

Pop out gear is very common on BMW too. Mime have been popped out more than 10 times in 4 yr and the dealers always have 2 answer : "Sorry, can't duplicate the problem" or "It is normal on ne manual car"

 

~$31-32,000 is what I saw on the 6 board

 

Lots of AT-MT going around recently.

I'll pass on the 6.

 

 

seeing this car wil come out next year, anyone here that thinks it doesn't make sense for honda not to bring out the IMA + AWD version of the TSX?

anyone care to guess the msrp for that?

 

Wouldn't it be great if SOMEONE chopped fdl's "picture" (long hair w/ the glasses) onto this t-shirt? hint, hint...

 

Okay...that's weird. Why did they put foglights below the main headlight assembly? Aren't the 6's foglights supposed to be integrated into the main light assembly (like the Jetta)?

And, I just saw something hilarious...if you go to Mazda's US site, and go configure a 6 Sports Sedan, you've got two choices.... Mazda 6i Sports Sedan and Mazda 6s Sports Sedan Regular Cab. Guess you can get the "Extended Cab" option, and add a 3rd row of doors to that baby!

 

ha ha - I guess they are differentiating it from the hatch?

 

one thing about the fog lights...if you look at the brochures when they first came out, you can get OEM fog lights on the bottom of the car installed. I asked the dealer about getting a pair if I got the car (cause I don't like fog lights in the same housing as regular head lights) and they had no idea what I was talking about...even when I showed them the brochure. All they kept on telling me was the fog lights are integrated

 

So, if that's so, then does that mean that when you turn on your fogs, you'll get 4 lights? The ones below the headlights and the ones integrated into the headlights?

 

good question...the salespeople at the dealership I went to had no clue...so I couldn't ask them anything about it

 

Nope, I also think it looks cluttered.

 

My Mazda dealership was about as well-informed

 

I say under 30k considering the priced of a loaded 6, that hood looks sweet.

 

Testing soft deletion

 

Torque Split All-Wheel Drive
274hp turbo
40% stiffer body
18" wheels

looks more aggressive too...damn...I'm impressed.

More info about the 6 here

 

this would blow the doors off of an rx8. do they plan on releasing the rx7 before this one? It wouldnt make sense to me to put out a version of the 6 that is faster than their sports car.
probably will be cool, though.

 

Damn that's SICK!
When does it come out?
I'm buying it as soon as it does.
Rep points for you!

 

Call me slow, I thought I had the scoop...BUT:

some details that were wrong or I didn't see in this thread:

274 HP,
280 ft-lb torque,
18 in wheels,

*Early* Summer '05

 

AWD turbo! cant ask for ne thing else

 

yea you can, 4 wheel steering, t tops, 2 doors.....

 

You forgot bishes in the back and passenger side.

 

I see it got some of the Volvo exterior styling, and probably got the AWD from Volvo as well.

 

That car is the ONE in its class. Perfect inside and out and AWD and a turbo!

 

"Coming in early summer, the MAZDASPEED6 will feature a direct-injected turbocharged 2.3L engine, 6-speed manual, all-wheel drive, a modified suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels and a significantly more rigid body structure. Aggressive, yet sophisticated styling enhancements plus the practicality of mid-size accommodations complete what will be Mazda's ultimate performance sedan."

I have to imagine this car will be around mid to low 30's and i don't know if i would want to spend that much on a mazda, never the less i think it looks great and would like to see one on the road, hell i would like to test drive one, i test drove last years model and thought it was a little slugish.

 

good observation. I didn't think about that. Ford is partial owner, correct?

Hopefully it got the S60R drivetrain.
