Agree, I think it looks great. Way better than the Accord, Camry, Altima, or Malibu.

I would say the new maxima would look better but the rear end of the maxima is ugly, and ruins the car. :( But maybe I'll like it with time...

Looks good. But IMO the silver around the fog lights looks kinda cheap. Also, those wheels look kinda big.

Now if it doesn't handle like a pig they might sell some more of them. I like the looks, we'll have to see how it drives.

:eek: no mazda 6 has handled like a pig....matter of fact nothing mazda has ever handled like a pig. This one is made off the mondeo chassis so im sure it will handled well.

idk man, it looks nice, but it seems that alot of the newer model sedans are sort of blending in. Kinda bland to me, but nice cars nonetheless

:eek: no mazda 6 has handled like a pig....matter of fact nothing mazda has ever handled like a pig.x2 I even drove a Mazda5 (that's the van) and it was fun as hell.

Actually, I take that back. The non-turbo FC RX-7 drove like crap. lol


I would say the new maxima would look better but the rear end of the maxima is ugly, and ruins the car. :( But maybe I'll like it with time...A more proper comparison would be between the Altima and the 6 since the Maxima costs a bit more and up's the luxury. Also, the rear of the Maxima is what makes the car IMO. The front end is okay, but the "fluid" design headlights are fail.

Passed a new 6 the other day I thought it looked pretty sharp. I don't like the foglight shroud or the chrome piece that crosses the center of the bottom grill. An easy fix though. I'd rock one.

No V6 6 speed me no likes......


This is the first time ever a Mazda "6" designated car with a v6 has ever came without the option of a manual. The previous 6 did and the 2 626's did before. I hope they felt that was a wise decision. It takes away from sport sedan image.

I guess Mazda did not want to invest the extra $ in research & devel. for a manual trans for the 3.7l since they never had one. It is a pretty damn quick car for having the auto though.

I hope they felt that was a wise decision. It takes away from sport sedan image.It may be a temporary thing like what Dodge did with the new Challenger. If/When Mazda puts out the Mazdaspeed 6, I can almost guarantee you that it'll have a 6-speed.

Here's the deal. The version of the Mazda6 we got is actually based off the last 6 but with a stretched out wheel base. The 6 the rest of the world is getting is based on the new Ford Mondeo and is shorter than ours. They'll be getting a speed6, we (unless they decide to import it) won't.

I remember Jim Ellis Mazda actually calling me and practically trying to give away their last one. lol

I definitely like it. Great consideration for the next family sedan.

Yup, this car has some potential. With some 18's, maybe a front lip to make it look more aggressive, and blacked out windows this would be badass.

yea as for MS id ratehr have the MS3 over the MS6,since its the same engine in smaller car,and not AWD......hopefully they do a new MS6 and put in a 6 cyl or Turbo 6

Now if only they'd come out with a new turbo rotary-powered RX-series car..

Mazda seems to be the only company trying to refine the sleek sports-car body-lines that people NOT in the mid-life crisis can enjoy.

The FD rx-7 prob has the sexiest lines out of any car.
