I wasn't willing to admit it until I ran into the bought the 04 - gotta have the 05 people but I'm falling out of love with a G I promised to have until 2013. The BMW rocks except it's missing about 50 hp. Everthing else other than the G/3 is a compromise driveabilty wise and I just don't know what to do...I'm thinking of selling it and getting a mazda 3 now - ok now I'm thinking about keeping the G again. I thought I was in love but now it's like I'm cheating...god these Sierra's are good!

Also, on the Mazda3. That is a freak of a car. Technically, it's an econobox. But a buddy at work has one, and though it's not on the same level as the g, it's not a bad ride. Also, at the last autox, a guy in his brand-new Mazda3 ran rings around a lot of the competition. I was very surprised at how it handled. Though it might have a hard time approaching that 14.2 1/4 you have there....
The Mazda 3 is offering value transcending it's class, maybe all classes. The Mazda 3 with FI or hybrid AWD will be a sweet arrival for the automotive scene. I could get 2 3's for the price of a 330. Hell, if cars were financial instuments, there would be a major arbitrage opportunity there.

It's all good.. In a few years everyone will have moved on to newer models and then we will all be talking about why the 07 or 08 (whatever we have) didn't get what is planned for 09 etc or whatever respective forums we have signed on to...
