Yeah Akrump47, it really does handle as good if not better. Save the emergency lane change or a quick back and forth manuever (showed more body roll). I did take a curve that I took in my tour at 80. In the tour I felt a little more nervous. With the 6 I felt quite a bit different. The car felt very balanced and composed. My tour used to feel like the rear end was about to step out when at it's limits. So far I have not detected any of that in my 6. I have taken it up to where I set the limits in the tour and it felt very safe, composed, and balanced. So far I am very impressed and happy. Now if I can only get the damn thing broken in so I can see how quick she is.

This might be another topic all together but an interesting one.. I named my 1st tour Slider for its propensity to understeer and slide (happened a few times). Named my second Slider 2 (only had the trouble plagued car for 7 months). Have any of you named your cars? I can't seem to think of a good one for my new one. I do think though that cars need to earn their names a bit
