Orh... that's not my comparison actually.

 

Mine goes like this:

 

CX-7 is a sporty SUV. At 100k, it achieved everything it set out to be, with the practicalities of an SUV, cheerful performance and a sassy outlook.

 

MPS6 is a sports-exec. At 10k more than the CX-7, it achieved nothing it set out to be and became an utter complete failure. Hiroshima hadn't seen a tragedy like the MPS6 since the Big Boy. It's too lumpily-manual to be an exec, its too clumsy to be sporty, its like a poor pre-op transexual from the original 6. Reinforcing the chassis by welding more metal and driving a shaft through the body, a bulge on the hood that looks like an "oops" from the artist, a tail that looks like any Mazda6 ricers' wet dream, AND AND AND... what's this? A front-biased AWD and you call that sporty?!? To make it really sporty, Mazda might as well sell it with 10,000 sponsor-stickers as a factory default.

 

 

why get CX-7 if u can get a RX-8 close to that price??

diff marke segment

[En0203]

the sexiness also different level

bro, one is an SUV. Another one is a gay sports-car wannabe who's owners either have no idea what they want, or they want a sports car but are just too sissy to compromise on the practicality, or they really feel they the cheapest (brand-new) high-revving RWD.

See... told you so.. Ah Veo is a good guy...

 

i qns him today..he said i the first for VC

[Cheekg98]

haha, u are ah veo buddy ?

yes the interior is worst than hyundai santa fe 2.7 litres. when u sit at the driver seat overlooking the console - it simply look like 'toy car'. need not test drive further...cause at 100+ k, i suppose is human nature that we cannot live with the plasticky look and feel of the interior.

[En0203]

nope it doesn't look gay at all, it looks classic to me, if u are patient enough to keep it for 20 yrs i am sure it'll still look so sexy 20 yrs later just like the RX-7

[Panda]

hahaha... Santa Fe.

20 years from now, a curvy car like the 8 will be battered with enough waves on the car for you to gleam the cube.

bravo! very good presentation for the 1st timer reviewer......

[En0203]

not really, just look at how the 7 still caught my attention whenever i see one the road regardless of the age... even a badly kept one is
