Only a leftover 2006 Mazdaspeed6 can be had for around $22K because 2006 models have a $4750 rebate. 2007s are much higher in price.

I own the Mazda6 4 banger and it is a blast to drive. Anyoen who says not probably hasn't driven one. The car handles like it is on rails and dances like a ballarina. In the straight line (not a normal driving condition may I add) I will get ate alive by many cars. In the corners and through traffic (real world conditions), the car makes everyone honest.

I don't get this riding on rails business. Shoot - my old Geo Storm was a tight little handler. Most small cars sit low and are go cart oriented. Its not like other cars in this class are top heavy and lean hard in the turns.

motor Trend had a review of the Aura, I'm sure its a nice car. But Motor Trend made reference to the .2 second difference in 0-60 times between the Fusion and Aura... Faster, ok, but can you count to .2 seconds?
More features? like what?

"Most of those "unreliable" domestics you are speaking of arent even unreliable per CR's tables in the new car issue."
Another place to see all those "unreliable Fords/GM products is MSN reliability data.. This will open your eyes!

What?? Fusion has nothing in common with the Taurus. Get it straight man! The 3.0 Duratec in the Taurus does NOT have VVT for one! The suspension and drive train are not Taurus either!
As far as your 30 year track record with the Accord.. Better go back and look at all those recalls for transmissions, electrical issues and more over those past 30 years The Accord is in no way perfect if you did your homework. I dumped my 2000 Accord for issues, that is why I'll never buy another one. Honda= overpriced, overrated and overdone for me!

Being reliable, isn't everything. Just one thing, in a long list.
