I just hope the seats are more comfortable than the 2002 626 that I drove. I rented a 626 with 435 miles on the odo & took it up to Atlanta. By the time I got there I felt like I had been wrestling a guerrilla all day long - man was I sore! Then I hopped into my Contour; aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Actually what would interest me would be an Estate/Wagon version of it. Sporting a button downed suspension and beefed up engine. Never happen since Ford owns Volvo though Why build a great Wagon for mid to upper 20's when the Volvos are 40+ Corporate monopolies suck... Oh well. There's also hope for a larger Subaru wagon.
2000 SVT #674

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

isn't one coming next year (this model year)? the 6 was released as a 4-door, a 5-door hatch, and a wagon in europe at the same time, and as i recall, released here as the sedan first with the 5-door and wagon to follow a year or so later.

The car may have a duratec engine block but all the rest of the parts are Mazda designed and engineered. Try driving your M6 into a ford dealership or garage for service and see what happens!!

Here is a very smart thing for them to do...they have a N/a 250hp engine or a turbo 250hp....thats good forsight
Engines: SOHC 16-valve 2.5-liter flat-4, 165 hp (est); turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve 2.5-liter flat- 4, 250 hp (est); DOHC 24-valve 3.0-liter flat-6, 250 hp
