#28 of 147 I can't wait to see the 2009' Acura TL........ by rockylee Dec 15, 2006 (1:20 pm)

#29 of 147 What do y'all think about ???????? by rockylee Dec 21, 2006 (4:39 am)
Do you guys think the Mitsubishi EVO X will have enough luxury to be in the performance oriented entry-lux segment ? if it does happen to move up market into this segment it will kick everybody's butt at least in performance.   Rocky
#30 of 147 600 horsepower for the next Cadillac CTS-V by rockylee Jan 03, 2007 (8:50 pm)
The next Cadillac CTS-V will receive the same engine as the Corvette SS using a supercharger to achieve those loft numbers.   Rocky

I have no clue about a future MazdaSpeed 6. Just the one for sale as 2006 and 2007 models. MazdaSpeed was expected to only makes one model at a time for 1 or 2 years. Model year 2007 sees the introduction of the MazdaSpeed 3 in the last half of 2006. The Speed 6 is a leftover hanger-on.   Well unless Mazda really improves the "gadget" contenet it will never be a ELLPS canidate according to the ELLPS forum. I personally like the Mazdaspeed6 and requested further information on them about a year an a half ago. I think it's about 40 horsepower shy to run with the big dogs and Mazda needs to improve the materials on the interior to make it a hot seller in performance-oriented segment. However if you want a AWD family sports sedan it's worth considering. I think the segment is flooded with so many great choices the Mazda often gets over-looked.   Rocky

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 17, 2007 4:15 am) Rocky, I was never into cars like the EVO and Impreza. I know those are fun to drive but they don't offer enough luxury for my taste.   In luxury I am not only looking for leather seats, fake wood trims and gadgets (I can settle for Camry or Accord if I am satisfy with those). The most important criteria for me is the interior fit-'n-finish, material quality and overall appearance. To me the EVO do offer enough performance but not enough luxury to be an ELLPS.   Also, I am working in a fairly conservative environment so to drive a riced up car like the EVO will get me too much unnecessary attention.

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 17, 2007 6:53 am) I guess some of the people I know love to have a trademerk. The new EVO-X is so impressive everything about it's is a trademark because out of all the cars they will release in the autoshows. EVO-X will have the "shock factor" and respect of being performance icon. The EVO-X will impressed   Rocky
