[s-cars] Any one drive a MazdaSpeed 6 yet ?

[mlp]

They are supposed to arrive in the Denver area @ 2, December.

I've an appointment to look at one as soon as it's off the transporter and
available for inspection.  I get the impression they're "anticipated" by
many in the regular Mazda 6 crowd, and the dealership is feeling like they
may have a chance to try adding a market premium to their regular MSRP
pricing.  My understanding is the pass through fell victim to the addition
of a rear tower sport suspension brace, as did any thoughts of offering the
package in any thing other than the sedan body.  Both the 5 door hatch back,
and the 6 wagon chassis were deemed too flexible, limiting Mazda to the 4
door sedan body style for the MazdaSpeed 6.  The last AWD I'm aware of, was
on the old 323 turbo ~ which could be a pile to handle because of its very
short wheel base.

Mike, looking for something understated, but elegant to knock Pizzo's black,
pimped Evo off in Steamboat this year.
