Well I saw it today at the motor show and had to give my thoughts to my mate who has actually got his name down for one and he wanted my opinion.
For what it's worth, to me it looked too conservative and lacked that certain wow factor. Beautifully built but it wouldn't get a cursory look in a car park. For that sort of money (muted to be) it puts him in the same league as the GT Liberty or nearly an STI. He felt the same! Rob.

Conservative is what the class it's pitched as is about. The tryhards will go STI/Evo, the adults will go Liberty GT or the 6 pot equivalent OR Mazda6 MPS OR Euro pov pack....
Personally I'm interested, very interested and by the time the hoopla dies down Kitty and I will be car shopping for a Bruce replacement. Ofcourse teh RX8 is the sex pot A.

Way out of my price range, but I love the car, and would definatly love one, they look like classy, well rounded, pure pleasure to drive kind of a car. Might not be the best performace beast out there, but from what I've read they have pretty darn sweet performance, superbly great handeling and they tuned it so the torque/power curve things will deliver smoothly all the way, great family car too...

found some interesting stuffage
http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?hl...language_tools btw this IS a machine translation, but you get the idea!!! and for those that are scratching their heads, it would appear that MAZDA in hirogama, (or what ever it is) translates to Matsuda

mps mazdas
its only a rumour so far, but dont be suprised to see a turbo 4wd mazda 3 mps soon. also an rx8 mps. My dad has an rx8 (prviously an mx5 and my astina was his too. also maybe getting a 6 mps for mum if she'll agree to it.) and someone at mazda mentioned it to him. apparently going to become mazdas version of bmw's m division, mercs amg, or, sorry to use it for comparison, but hsv and fpv. Not yet gospel but fingers crossed!!!!!! also there are 2 versions of the 6 mps, one starting at approx 50. Its less luxurious but at 50k who cares.

A while back I saw an interview with a boffin from Mazda who said that MPS is no guarantee of AWD or turbo. MPS Mazdas will be enhanced but that may only be leather interior, body kit, suspension package etc....

I should've mentioned. The question the Mazda spokes-person was asked was about the 3 not about the 6 but was rather generic as he also spoke about a Mazda 2 MPS

The MPS will be predominately front wheel drive, the 4WD system is not a constant 4WD system. It was designed this way to keep fuel consumption in mind.
The only time that it engages the 4WD system is when you start to hammer it around corners and drive harder.. And also, if you launch hard it will become 4WD. The transition between FWD and 4WD is seemless, so you won't even know it's engaged itself. AP
