Mazda MX-6
The MX-6, introduced in 1987, was a two-door coupe that didn’t set our hearts on fire from a styling perspective, but its GT version boasted a turbocharged, 2.2-litre four that developed 145 horsepower, but mostly, 190 pound-feet of torque—which was a lot at the time. The MX-6 was also available with four-wheel steering. The second-generation car, which was sold as the MX-6 Mystere in Canada from 1993 to 1997, was also much appreciated for its voluptuous styling and free-revving 2.5-litre V6.
