good point but you can continue that argument forever i can't wait to see one at a drag strip or something.



my guess is for 1k in mods for them as well, they can get themselves into the 300 whp area as well pretty easily and totally safely (since it's the same engine the MS6 is using)

btw technically there would be no difference in price :P or at least very little of one.

07 RL with comp package and whatever other little stuff puts you at 22k as well

There is a Mazda 3 non-hatch. I actually think it's pretty decent looking. No plans to hook that one up with the turbo?

I believe GoofyGuy got a ms3, traded in his charger for it. He says it's the best car he's ever owned, but he goes through cars like I go through shoes, and shoes don't last long when you're an autobody tech/painter! LOL.

I don't know why you guys think mazda is quality though. I work on them all the time and I know 1st hand that they are designed very poorly, and a big pain in the ass to work on. They just do alot of stupid shit, tons of extra engineering on stuff that isn't necessary, and just makes for more stuff to go wrong, and impossible to fix easily. I (and mostly everyone else that works on multipul brands) truely HATE fixing them, ALWAYS A PROBLEM! Ok, end rant... sorry guys.

Yeah I'm just talking about the overall design and ease wrench friendlyness. I'm in no way saying saturn is high quality either, you get what you paid for. But at least gm (for the most part) is easy to work on. Saturns are super easy= simple smart design. Cadillac on the other hand is the complete reverse. I hate overengineered cars! BMW are awesome, great engineering, and very easy to fix for the most part.

EDIT:Oh, and I think GG just got the mazda 3, maybe not the "speed" version. but those cars do have nice performance though.
