"Mazda Unleashes Mighty 6
ith a turbocharged 280bhp engine and all-wheel-drive transmission, this car is certain to give added 6-appeal to Mazda's Paris Motor Show stand.
Here is the first official image of the Mazda 6 MPS, which Auto Express revealed in Issue 708. Set to rival the Subaru Impreza Turbo and Mitsubishi Evo VII, the newcomer is easily distinguishable from lesser Mazdas.
As well as the impressive power figure, the car develops 360Nm of torque and complies with stringent Euro IV exhaust emissions regulations. MPS stands for Mazda Performance Series, the company's tuning division.
Featuring a bigger front bumper and subtle rear spoiler, the 6 MPS will make its debut at the show in a fortnight's time. The front radiator grille is modelled on the unit featured on the innovative new RX-8 coupé, and filling the wheelarches are a set of 18-inch alloys shod with low-profile tyres.
Inside, the car has leather seats and a light- coloured dash. It also features keyless entry and a big red starter button. The Mazda looks set to go on sale late next year, and will cost from £25,000. "
hmmmmmm, nice 2nd hand buy me thinks

There was a concept 626 MPS a while back now. I thought it looked very nice. They weren't sure if it would ever see the forecourt, but looks like it might in the guise of the 6 MPS.
Here's some pics
How close it will be in the end to this I dunno, but I think the new Mazda 6 looks rather nice as it is
Bit put off by the naff 'Zoom Zoom' advert....particularly as it's pronounced 'zum zum' 
go figure
Thats bloody advertisers for you
