626 MPS ...damn right!
clicky
High Performance four door saloon from Mazda! Although not yet in production, on the 2000 Geneva motor show, Mazda showed us that there are hopes for all you Mazda-enthusiasts out there. The 626 MPS is a 2,5 litre V6 AWD (full time) saloon, based on the re-launched 626 model. The engine is a 2496cc equipped with twin turbos and intercooler. It is based on the reliable KL-ZE engine(first introduced in the 626 in 1992). Special ECU and straight trough silencers, give the 626 MPS stunning performance. A claimed 280 hp(206Kw) at 6500 rpm and a max torque of 392 Nm at 4000 rpm, should make us seriously consider to give the old 323 GTX/GT-R up, and ask for more.
A 5 speed gearbox with 4wd configuration is used. The 4wd is a full time system.Handling is carried out by a 12-way adjustable suspension unit in each corner. The suspension also has height adjusting. The wheels are awesome, and brakes are too, sporting a state of the art setup with 6-pot calipers in front hugging on a 345 mm disc, and a 4-pot in the rear with a 315 mm disc. Styling is radical, with side skirts and arches that make the body "stand out from the crowd". The trunk lid has a large spoiler similar to the one on the Mitzu Evo (very nice!) This 4 door saloon is powerful, justifiable for families (all the comfort/convenient features of the standard 626) and small enough to be fun on the twisty stuff.

Rep Power: 0 the rear tailights kinda resembles the 6th generation sedan. cleared out.
i kinda like it, the thing about mazda is that they seems to be keeping up on the competition.
HONDA needs to pick up the pace.
