7000? I say 8000. And actually if they use a DI DOHC 1.5l engine with high-cam VTEC, that's about where the peak power would be. Somewhere in the 7600-7900 range.

Such sad.

They had to get it right. If they didn't, it's possible Mazda could have disappeared from the automotive landscape forever.

We bought a used Saturn Vue Red Line that had a full set of snow tires with it. The previous owner was like "here's these wheel covers for the winter wheels & tires." I had to hold back my laughter.. but as soon as we got to our house, they wound up in the wheely bin. Rocking those steel wheels w/ snow tires.

Steelies rule. Chintzy hubcaps suck.

I think by the time they actually got a decent engine, their reputation was absolute shit. That's what happens when you spend 3 or 4 years selling the god awful Opel sourced 3.0L and shitty CVT transmissions.

04-07 had the J35 and Honda's 5-speed auto. I think only the MDX engine was "better." Although they had the…

And the ticking time bomb of the electronics and so-so V6.

I'm curious as to when 176k for a Honda was "unreliable." I have the same engine in my Vue and it's been absurdly reliable.

And for the $2k less? I'd say it's well worth it.

Reflex Spice FTW!!

I can't not post this. It's no Boog, but it was mine. That straight line from headlight to tail light at the base of the canopy lent itself naturally to two-tone, so I went for it one day when it had to go to the body shop after I got hit.

It'll never run WRC due to homologation and age rules (among other reasons), but one did enter and finish the Mongol Rally in 2011, without tipping over even once.

Triple NOPE. POKEMON RUBY SAPPHIRE EMERALD REMAKE CONFIRMED.

I've seen this before.

No love for the old Bugati EB110's engine?

I hope so because in this picture it looks like... well....

The Sonic Blue SVT Focus, but only the first 100.

Civic Si Fiji blue! Dayum!

SRT Viper / Viper GTS. Looks to be the same blue. Pure car porn.

Fiji Blue Conquest TSi this is my vote.

Bayside blue 34 all day everyday
