Very beautiful and powerful. But two flaws.
1. made in usa!
2. without a hood scoop, what is the point of this kind of air filter!

the grille/hood channels air to the IC
not sure how effective it would be, haven't seen the underside of the hood
this is why the ms6 has a a higher hood than normal 6

OMG 36G? that's cheap!
it's a lil ridiculous how they compare it with the A4 Quattro, the Jugura Xtype, the C280 and the S60?!?!?!  Huh
a different line of cars!

anyways.. for the price, that's very decent, (excpet for the seat, the seats are ugly)

I thought it was made in the US, but in the article it lists:

Assembly location Hofu, Japan

It's made in Japan for the MS6. Seats are very supportive, at least the cloth ones. I test drove it last week, the chassis feels very solid. Power is not bad but too much turbo lag to my taste(actually I'm not sure it's the lag from the turbo or from the electronic throttle) , it feels as fast as my old supercharged Miata. Engine actually sounds nicer than my friend's A3. But it's not as nimble as a stock Mazda 3 GT, turn in is lazy in comparison. It does weight ~750lbs more than a Mazda 3 sedan GT.

That's really interesting 'cuz the first time i read the canadian driver article, I specifically checked to see where the MS6 was made and I swore I saw that it was made in the US (and I was disappointed in that)....

Maybe they edited the article.? MIJ? Woot!
