German Cup holders

[Larry Leung]

Forgot to mention, WHAT on the Mazdaspeed 6 is so boyracerish, the IC in the
lower front valence. Other than that, everything else IS integrated,
no wings, no
scoops, nothing. Just sill panels, a bulgy hood (not too noticable,
IMHO) and a tiny lip spoiler out back. Just like "speedline", more
than the S4. That's why I'm confused.

LL - NY
