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

[Varon H. Fugman]

The MazdaSpeed6 might use a Haldex AWD drive system (out of the Volvo/Ford
parts bin), but this is just a guess.

I think the air to the top-mount intercooler gets ducted from the front
grill up over the top front of the engine to the intercooler.  Thus the
special hood that is "chunkier" than the regular Mazda6, the one aspect of
the styling of which I am unsure.  Still waiting to see/drive one
first-hand.

Hope the MazdaSpeed6 gets better fuel economy than the RX-8!  I can't
understand how a sports car that is almost 1,000 pounds lighter than my S6
gets worse mileage!  OK, I can understand it: the I5 20V AAN turbo motor
provides fantastic fuel economy given the power output and weight of the
car.

Don't know what I'd do without my ski sack... how would I carry my shovel,
hoe, rake, and pieces of plumbing pipe home from Lowes!?!
