Though spy shots of the 2008 Mazda6 have been snapped before, the automaker has done a good job obscuring the car's new shape from the camera's lens... until now. Chris Doane has managed to track down a production prototype wearing little camo that reveals exactly what Mazda has planned for the new 6. Clearly a bigger car than the current model, the new 6 should be about two inches longer with a similar stretch in its wheelbase. It appears the car's new front clip features larger headlights and a grille that plunges down the front bumper above another long lower air intake. Doane also managed to snap a view of the interior, which looks very high-tech with its hard lines and edges. It reminds us of the inner dwellings of an RX-8, in fact.

Priddy tells us that the new Mazda6 is expected to be motivated by Ford's now ubiquitous 3.5L V6, and there'll be a 180-horsepower 4-cylinder model, as well. Of course, MazdaSpeed will eventually debut its own hyper kinetic version, and a hybrid is also in the works.

Interior does look a bit like the 8.. hopefully they dont do the same thing & integrat the hvac controls with the radio.. -shakes head-

rear end looks too bulky

i like it!

I spotted this bad boy near my office last week. The front and sides look really good.

It just me or does the grille scream out Acura TL?

it does! When I saw it, I also thought it might be a TL. (till I saw the rest of it)

Looks too bulky. I'll hold judgement until I see the final model.

It could work out. The Noble M400 also uses a Duratec V6.

The new Duratec isn't bad. It's in the new Cx-9 and Edge and most automobile magazines like the engine. The Edge as the problem of being overweight and the Cx-9 seems to be enjoyed by Automotive journalists. (Motor Trend July 2007 I believe).

Dash looks a little CX-7 ish!
