Just test drove a 4th gen Max, a '96 5 speed, was looking for a new car for the wife. It seems that One: she can't drive a stick. Two: When I drove it, I couldn't believe that it felt weaker than my '89! I had forgotten that this was what my car felt like when I first got it two years ago! Now, many mods later, I can safely say that the 4th gen felt like a joke! It shifted nice, but man, my Max just kills it on power! So, they wanted too much, so maybe after the first of the year!
