As far as power is concerened, it should be similar to Evo and STi. I think the 6 has over 270 horsepower and just under 280 lb./ft. of torque. The only thing that might make the 6 a little slower than the the Evo/STi is weight. I think it's about 300 pounds (135kg? I'm guessing, too lazy to get calculator) heavier than the Evo/STi. Either way, that is the only other 4-door, all-wheel drive, turbocharged sports car that I'm aware of at least in the US.

Wow, what the hell happened here???? I leave a few posts, go to bed, and come back and all hell has broken loose. Crazy.
And, while I'm sure those other cars have all been talked about before, you still missed my point. Those aren't the "Signature" car for the company. And, as I said, you don't see the magazines bagging on the signature cars. I'm not talking about Cobalts, Civics, Sentras, G6s, Impalas, or things like that. I'm talking about the 300C, the 3-series, the Vette, the Mustang, the Accord, cars like those. Now sure, those cars aren't bad by any means. But, you'll never see the mags dis them, because you just don't talk down to those cars. Those cars are supposed to be seen as the best of the best from the respective company, and if people started to think otherwise, you have problems. Think back to the last time an American magazine talked bad about one, it will be hard. Sure, they might find little flaws and quirks, but they will NEVER proclaim one a BAD car. Again, you missed my point. Strike two.

No, you really didn't get it. I don't care if one is a performance model, or ultra-base model. When one car has a huge horsepower advantage over another, you can't expect the lesser to win. Thats all. The Porsche was at a 75hp disadvantage, but you brought up the fact that the Vette could keep up with it at the track. WELL, I hope so. Thats my point. Doesn't matter what we're talking about. It would be like comparing a base Jeep Wrangler against a Wrangler Rubicon, and then saying that the Rubicon was much better off-road. I would hope so. It has air-lockers and MTRs, it should be better. So, strike one on you getting my point.BlazinXtreme
Who cares about the Aveo, why do you keep bringing this up???? Its a little, crappy car, thats it. Everyone knows that, even the people buying them. Its just a basic daily transport car, nothing more.BlazinXtreme

Again, you did miss the point. I'm not talking about the Mini exclusively here. What I was saying was, by the numbers that you seem so fond of, the Mini doesn't seem like that great of a car. But, once you live with one, you realize the numbers don't matter. We could be talking about any car, not just the Mini. My point was, if all you look at is the numbers, you don't really understand what the car has to offer. Thats strike three, but we're not doneBlazinXtreme
No, you're relying on someone else to make your decisions for you then. I do have an opinion, everyone does. You yourself used an OPINION to proclaim the Mini Cooper NOT A GREAT CAR AND NOT FUN TO DRIVE. Thats an opinion, and a perfectly acceptable one. But, taking what a magazine has to say about a car as the set in stone answer about the car is just lame. Call it emotional or whatever, I'll stick to driving and enjoying cars that I like, not what someone else tells me I should like. So you can stick to not liking the French, not liking the Mini, and thinking the Corvette is the greatest car on the planet. I'll make my own EDUCATED decisions. Thats strike four aginst you on getting my point. Maybe I should write a magazine, and use a bunch of numbers and graphs. Then you would understand it. MAYBE.BlazinXtreme

Hello!
The Mazdaspeed 6 is called Mazda 6 MPS in Germany.
Other point:
Hey, come on. You cant hate a whole nation. I can understand if you don´t like the government of that nation. But YOU don´t know all people from that country. The only thing I can understand is that you dislike all fundementalists / fanatics ( especially terrorists)
So, respect each other and each others opinion.
Have FUN
