Just got the latest (and NOT so greatest) info on the MazdaSpeed6 :(
Since I have a vested interest, I sadly report that "Merv, Larry just spoke to Kyle at Mazda to get an update on the MS6. Looks like they will not be built until June.

WOW, that is really surprising :shock: I kind'a figured they were already being built or starting shortly. :cry: Sorry Merv, I'm sure you are really looking forward to getting it!
I also am surprised by that information. I'd love to own one of those, esp if I had my MSM that I could take to the track.
S.
Wonder if the Hiroshima factory fire has anything to do with the delay?
Bummer Merv... :(
It shouldn't have as the 6 isn't being built there..... I don't get it :(Quote:

With less 2005 stock (I know there is still a ton out there) and the new MX-5 being ready early, it is conceivable that it could show up at dealerships at the beginning of summer. With the MX-5 making a splash, they would want to push back the MS6 so as not to interfere. Again, just a WAG. :wink:Quote:
