Mazdaspeed 6 looking good.
I know these photo's are old, but I was just looking through my gallery and thought these were just great eye candy. Thought you guys might enjoy them as well if you haven't already seen them.

not to nit-pick Matty but that is NOT a Mazdaspeed 6...that is the MPS Concept 6..a whole different animal....very nice looking car though..there are currently no plans to build a Mazdaspeed 6

the "mazdaspeed" nomenclature only exsists on production cars here in US.... I'm sure it is a concept overseas and it's called the MPS....and when/if they decide to bring it here it'll be called the
"mazdaspeed 6" It's the same chasis, engine, interior.....it uses all factory off the shelf parts....very easy to build...now if only mazda would do it and keep it under $30K.

The Mazdaspeeds arent called MPS overseas...The MPS was used and shown here too at the North American International Auto Show..MPS stands for Mazda Performance Series..they have been using that for all their hopped up concept cars for a while....again there are no plans to build a Mazdaspeed 6...I'm not making this up or reading magazines....I work for Ford, Matty

What do you do at Ford? I worked for a ford dealer and a mazda dealer also.
I believe you, I just think it's aweful fishy to spend that much time and money on a vehicle that is made entriely with of-the-shelf parts that would fill a much needed gap in Mazda's NA lineup and seriously knock the Accord and Camry off the import sedan throne.
Accord V6 pricing ---- Evo8 performance ---- Mazda quality....jeez H...why not build it??!?

Ford Motor Credit...I'm, well..I'm the guy who calls you and says "the money or the metal"...lots of other legal stuff too, but that pretty much explains my job....That MPS 6 is a pretty bad car, but I doubt it will even be built in japan as a production car, however if it is, i seriously doubt a sub 30K price...its supposed to be supercharged with AWD...

Sweeeeet looking 6. If I had the money I would have bought a 6 instead of the MP5 but oh well I'm still happy. I've seen some 6's around here that kids are butchering. 3' wing and crappy exhausts. I would love to have the blue lights it just looks good. My brother just bought a ralli art lancer and wants to race me. He's trying to get even with me since I wooped up on his stratus that he traded in. I'll know he will demolish me in the lancer so I haven't raced him yet.
