Re: Upcoming Mazda6 released
Looks cool to me. I like the big burly fender flares up front. Very RX-8.

And CJ fails at the linkage...

They were trying to compete with other cars like the Camry and Accord that have a lot more interior room and more hp in their engines. Though, with gas prices the way they are, I'm not sure that was such a great move.

Their speed versions of cars are short run limited production.

They took the turbo'd 4 that was in the awd speed6 and replaced the less powerful turbo'd 4 that was in the fwd speed3, btw.

I think it's expected that a new speed6 will be out in a couple of years.

Re: Upcoming Mazda6 released
Ambigous.
The front end needs more punch. I like the rear end though, especially the exhaust pipes. I agree that it is too similar to the lexus / toyota look but it remains better than the camry and accord to me.

Don't you think it's getting bigger? it seems to be as big as a maxima, therefore should be heavier.

Am I the only one who sees an Altima front end on there?

Re: Upcoming Mazda6 released
Jalopnik just put up some shots of the interior....Personally I am liking it allot. I had been contemplating getting a G37 in the near future but this might be another(and cheaper) alternative. Although the V6 with automatic only kinda kills the fun of it
