Probably going to replace the wife’s GTP soon, not sure what with. She wants to look at SUVs. If not, then a 4-door. Has to be at least a midsize, somewhere around $30K. Personally I like the looks of the Mazdaspeed6, but sticks are a no-no for her. I’m not a big fan of SUVs (unless they can handle, perform, and have the gas mileage of a car).

And wimpy engines are out. This was a “discussion” at x-mas dinner with some relatives who said their minivan was just fine. Laurie said it would be fine if you could put a supercharger on it. Brought a tear to my eye. 😃

I agree on the legacy. It has a motor from the sti only its detuned for a little economy. Nothing a little tuning couldn’t fix :burnout:
