Completely agree. My Mazdaspeed 6 was an absolute blast to drive, Haldex notwithstanding. But, my expectations of that car were in keeping with its price point and that it was a skunkworks derivation of a sleepy sedan. My expectations of something labelled an "S" or an "M" and at a much higher price strata are much different (and I am referring to meaningful M like M Performance or M, not M Sport and obviously not S Line).
