6 hatch is already out, but I doubt there would be a mazdaspeed 6 hatch..



however, I think there will be a Mazdaspeed3 🙂
 
Mazda is KEY. I've sworn to myself that I'll own an RX car one day, and I will. The RX-7 is SEXY, the RX-8 is sexier than Angelina Jolie giving me a lapdance.
 
pretty nice. wonder what the price is going to be. hopefully not STi territory because I don't think it has a chance there.

Sex.
 
Yeah - I'll be trading in my 6S for one of these bad boys... That or the new GTO if they stick with the badass variant....

i would imagine somewhere between the legacy and STI

it makes about the same power and torque as the evo

it looks better (subjective)
will have a nicer interior

cons

front balanced AWD instead of rear

though it does reach 50/50

not as fast as either

i would imagine it will be faster than the legacy but slower than the STi an Evo

my guess would be something like 29-30K w/ leather and a nice set of options

i read somewhere that Austrailian pricing is something like 50,000 AU

the Sti over there costs about 58,000 AU (MSRP)

hopefully i can get one with HID and NAV for 31.5 K or lower and i'm all over it since i'm not crazy about the G35

and to me the STi and Evo are downright hideous

They stopped importing Alfa Romeo's to North America about 8 years ago

what fine print? 😕

A five-point upper grille section that also serves as the air intake for the engine's intercooler.

As evidenced from the raised hood that stretches from the bottom of the hood to the vicinity of the intercooler, seems like they have the air coming in thru the grill above the mazda insignia, and then ducted to the intercooler. Speaking from personal aesthetics, I much prefer this design than have a hood scoop get in the way of the 6's lines.

Front balanced??? That just killed it for me.

Considering Alfa makes a 340 hp small hatch that's FWD... no. THey tested it on top gear, it did great.

Is that car a 2+2? That way, the car comes with the girls, one gives you a backrub while the other gives you road head.
