3.5l supercharged, I'd say its bound to have more power!

I'm wondering what sort of drive train that its got. Would be nice for it to be 4WD, but I'm guessing will probably be FWD...

And it actually does look very snazzy.

From the pic that Mr.Phreak posted, I thought "watered down 300C", but the one on the website looks heaps better and more original.

Is it just me or does it utilise a few Mazda 6 styling cues.... But yeah, I like. Just wish they'd make it RWD...

Yea, but the downside is that the F6 weights near 2 tonne!! 8O
Still hauls though!

Didnt toyota sell SFA of the avalons, and then were flogging them off to taxis for less than the cost of a echo?
