 Bought this as an import fan, and haven't been disappointed.  Have owned Acura, Mazda, and VW prior to this, and I can say that it's of equal, if not better quality, than the lot of them.  Fun to drive, and the 3.5L V6 is a no brainer if you're considering this.  I test drove many of the competitors in this class, and none compared value wise.  276 hp makes it a great choice if you like to experience where you're going as opposed to just getting there.
