Karl on Cars

Mazda Mazdaspeed Mazda6

Someone asked about the Mazda Mazdaspeed Mazda6. Well, beyond the obvious answer -- Yes, this is the stupidest name for a car ever!!! (you can find more of my thoughts on that aspect of the car in my latest editorial).

But there's the question of what kind of performance does it offer for $28,000?

According to our editor who drove it personally, the car does offer superb handling, but it's still not BMW 3 Series caliber (which is, of course, a very high caliber indeed)...

If you're looking for a fun and capable all-wheel drive sedan for less than $30,000, it's probably the best thing on the market. Our first drive is live and we'll have a full test going up soon.

Thanks for the reply. :^)

The Department of Redundancy Department must have come up with that one. :-)

It is a sign that the Sith have surely taken their revenge on Mazda. While that car is decent, the people who name them need to take a practical approach to names for vehicles, or least throw them in front of a study group.
 
Two Mazda's are fine but three is a bit too much.
 
Next mission... convince Nissan to sell the new GTR as a Nissan instead of an Infinit in North America.

They should hire Maserati to help tune the suspension, then they can call it the Mazda Mazdaspeed Mazda6 by Maserati. :P

At least Mazda's in good company. The full name of the fastest, most expensive Ferrari ever built is the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari.
