I heard that too, much like the W8 Passat. Tough to break into a market owned by extremely good cars, like Audis and BMWs. I think both the Mazdaspeed 6 and the W8 are fantastic cars but are just too hard to market.

Btw, agree with you on the "that's not a sleeper" comment. Most of the WRX/STi drivers I know are not boys, and are racers/autoxers too, but that's because I do those sports as well. I'm talking about who you mainly see on the road driving them.... For me, they mostly are <30 y.o. guys, most looking a good bit younger than that.
