racerdave Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I've got nothing against the MS 6, but I like the LGT better. And if the MS 6 sells decently, expect a response from Subaru... that can't be all bad. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderkind Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Well it's gonna be either two things: - Mazda is once again over quoting it's engine performance numbers which they have done before. Or.... - they under quote the car's 0-60 performance as to not eclipse their current performance flagship the rx-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 [quote name='Beanboy']And AWD to help with the launch. Just wait Monkey Brains, I shall be correct![/QUOTE] Your quick fact of the day, obviously the power delivery itself is important, and it is too early to tell, but... If the Legacy GT Sedan weighs 3300 lbs., and the MS 6 weighs 3600 lbs., the Legacy wins in hp/wgt and trq/wgt based on average dyno findings. (260hp/270tq) You do the math if you are so hot on the MS 6... Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobY Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Wow thats weighty for an AWD sedan with "faux" wheel drive. That being said direct injection is an intresting concept. If you can run lots of boost with good detonation resistance. Basicly the concept is like a diesel the fuel dosent get injected until you are past TDC. In essence a gasoline powered "diesel" engine. However upgrading the fuel sysetem in this car can be a pain in the arse and in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I saw a side profile pic of the MS6 in the AutoWeek I got today... not pretty. To me, it looked like they grafted the front end from the Audi TT on it... that front IC intake and raised hood really are not very attractive. Now, I'm no huge fan of the hole in the hood that the LGT has, and initially I thought the MS6 had a more attractive solution. Not anymore. Yuck.

wunderkind Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 if priced similarly to an LGT, then Subaru needs to up the ante. MS6 has more content feature for the money. I like to see at least 6spd in an LGT (non-STi) and HIDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
