I also don`t see it as hating. They aren`t fast. They are fun and agile yes, but when a stock mini-van full of kids with hockey equipement an watching movies on the on board DVD player can win your pink slip, it`s not a fast car. And I don`t regret for a second buying it
As for the segment comments. They aren`t talking about the 6 against that list, they are talking about the 6 in the mid-size family sedan. They are compared to Altimas, and Camrys. Not the FRS, or Civics or Imprezas. It doesn`t look to me like MSN lost their mind.
