the Mazda Atenza is Called 'Mazda 6' in US.... There is no such thing as a 'Protege 6'...

Just clearing up the names...

I also wonder if it will have an intercooler. They may not, just because it'll be low boost and cheaper. If it does, it'll probably be similar to the IC on the eclipse; tucked in the front corner of the bumper. Although, the new neon does have a front mount IC.

Can someone tell me if a water intercooler is better (more efficient/practical) than a FMIC?

God I hope this doesn't make me regret buying my P5 last week. Even the AWD would be freaking sweet, but the extra hp to boot.

*drooooool*

hmm.. wonder what I could do trade in wise for my p5 with 500miles and 1 week old

I wouldn't want to trade in my P-5....but would CERTAINLY be interested in knowing if the pieces parts will all be available through the dealer or as some sort of upgrade kit to retro-fit our 2.0's with the turbo.....THAT is the real question.

cyberglitch....you would be amazed at how many THOUSANDS of dollars they would gig you for.....probably cheeper to retro fit your p-5 with the turbo...AND have a dealer do all the work!

Yea I know. I wouldn't trade mine in either, that was a joke. I know they would try to rip me a new one on trade in for practicly the same car. Although like everyone else I will cross my figures and toes and hope for future upgrades for my current stock P5.

I would trade my P5 in a heart beat if I thought I wasn't going to drown from being upside down. If you haven't driven a high HP FWD, that would explain your lack of enthusiasm about the AWD. I LOVE my eclipse, and wouldn't trade it for almost any car, even if it was faster. I love it, love it, love it, but would trade my GS-T for a GS-X any day of the week without a seconds thought. If I could get into an AWD wagon sleeper from hell, that would be even more fun than the eclipse. I'd be on that like white on rice.
