A quarter past stripped
Man.... This is the end. People prefer the Mazda6 over the Q50. Infiniti / Nissan needs to wake the F up. Then again, as stated above, the Q50 has been selling right and left. I guess gizmos rate more than performance to most nowadays. I sure hope they redesign the hell out of the Q60 in the coming 24 months. Because they will be losing this customer if they don't.

Dont get me wrong, im a Mazda fan, I had a 1st generation hatchback 6 with the 3.0 and a 5spd, it was a great car. My brother in law still drives it. But the current 6 is a fwd 4 cylinder. ...and people would rather that than a 330 hp RWD summer tire shod, LSD equipped, big brake kit featuring 0-60 in 4.9 second Q50

The Mazda6 has simple but stylist body line.i have never been a fan of Mazdas design but their did good job with the current model. Saw one in black at the mall last week, top trim and I could buy it was that next gen G sedan if it had the badges.

Answer: FUN.
It was truly an amazing car to drive every single day, take it to the track, and whoop a$$. Sure it was slower than even a civic, but at the end of the day youre driving a car derived entirely from a drivers/racers pov. Those that ever had the chance to enjoy one would understand what I mean.
For the same money we could've been driving Evo's and Sti's if performance was all we cared for

Sorry about ur bumper Chris. Sport bumper swap is great if you can find an excuses for it. I love the sport bumper but i find no reason to change out my current good condition one. 800 bucks isnt alot to be different from every other Gs i see on the road

Same reason applies towards why people chose the Mazda RX-8 over a 350Z...hell even why it constantly got compared to a 350z, mustang, etc, yet it doesnt even have any pistons at all!

An RX8 is actually comparable to a Z. So is a Mustang. They are all RWD sports coupes.
Do you really think a Q50S is less fun to drive than a Mazda 6
The FWD open differential architecture alone is a fail. Not to mention the ~150 HP deficit. The Q at least offers optional summer tires, which says a lot about it's mission.
I get it. The G crowd doesn't like the Q. I don't either, because they killed the 6MT. But to compare a FWD 6 to a Q is just silly. I don't know how you define "fun" but in any measurable metric, from straight line acceleration to handling to braking, a Q50S is absolutely going to murder a 4 cylinder 6.
Nobody is taking a Mazda 6 to the track to whoop a$$

I think that will take you to the "right" picture. Maybe...
It isn't that bad to where I have to swap bumpers thank goodness. They managed to hit the grill too, dunno what it was but I didn't think the car was that low now. An well, gives me something to do this weekend I suppose.

Thank you Kevin, I appreciate it. I could find an excuse for it I'm sure but I have a couple other things I would like to do first. Luckily I got some excellent pricing on the springs and camber kits so I can get them knocked out hopefully next weekend along with the brakes and lights.
