Would be fun trying to get into that. 90 day Yoga classes come complimentary with purchase of vehicle.

Or build another turbocharged Mazdaspeed 6 with AWD for about 33-40k. The 6 is a seriously sexy car, the interior is really nice as it is IMO, it is just seriously lacking under the hood with only one 4 cylinder engine option available.

I had the 4 cyl in the Mazda 6 () and while not neck snapping it had decent pep. Just noisy when you got on it and my wife disliked that. Going to a smooth sewing machine like 6 in the IS350 put a smile on her face every time. If Mazda can add a wee bit more pep to it AND bring the noise down a little with perhaps better insulation at the firewall I'd seriously consider it again. Great example, the C 300 Mercedes I drove wasn't lacking oomph and was respectably quiet. Put that into the Mazda and you'd have a winner.

I agree, it does need something between the zany 350hp model I propose and the base 180hp model. Which 180hp in a car this big is seriously lacking IMO.

sure, but thats not the reason Mazda6 sales are bad in the USA... all of the other competitors usually have weaker engines and yet they sell 4x-7x more than Mazda6.

However, quite possibly, with turbo model, they might have found a niche that could have doubled their sales for 6.... they might have tried that with diesel, but cant get it certified.
