I talked to a salesman about the MS6 yesterday and asked if he'd moved many, and he said "You know, not nearly what we thought we'd do. A lot of guys were begging us to call them the moment they got in, but mostly they just wanted to drive them." This lot had a half-dozen of them sitting out. I wonder how a $25K offer for one without options would have gone.

When I was at the local dealer looking for a 6 for the g/f I asked if they were moving. Sales guy says they weren't. It's niche market. For older guys that don't want the boy racer looks of the STi or Evo.

Yeah, that would be me. But I also don't want a $30K four-banger.

Probably would have taken it. Some dealers are taking invoice, and there's purportedly $2000 in dealer cash out there too that some dealers are giving out, bringing a base MS6 to well under $25K.

It looks pretty nice to me. What does it have ? 250hp and 280 torque?? Those are the only numbers i was able to pull from this thread that weren't in kilowatts and stuff  Problem is...it's still kinda the "Boy racer" kinda car, which i think i should be trying to stay away from.

Maybe this is what I should get... hmmm... I'm teetering on either a used S60R, new S40 T5, used MS6, or now this!
Hmm... I'd have to go back to the states for the Mazdas, though

If you want a fast car, go get a GTO. A lot of left over 05s that are selling for 24-26k. Very comfortable car that actually seats 4 6ft adults and is fast.

Yes, because I own one. The back seats actually offer more back support and is more comfortable than the fronts. The car has a ton of back seat room, my friend who is 6ft can sit in the back with his feet crossed.
