worst spy shot ever :p:, it might as well be under a car cover. 265hp is going to be in the neighborhood of the new 07 Camry and Altima, im glad Mazda is finally stepping up their game. This thing should be pretty fast

Cool. I hope AWD will be an option and that they keep the car sporty since they are increasing its portions.

What am I even looking at? You could have told me that was a Volvo and I would have to take your word for it.

It might be the next RX-7. :naughty:

Like the camouflaged rx-8 headlights :)

Don't kill the messenger! I am just passing it along.

Looks about the same, just bigger...and I aint complaining about it either. I hope it makes 260HP and even better I wish it came RWD, but I know the RWD part is just a dream.

Looks awesome! ;)

looks like a rx8

The 6 has always looked hot! Why not just use the 2.3T from the MS6 and just limit boost according to trim? Seems a more economical approach, and it certainly will compete with any honda/toyo v6.

Looks almost the same to me as far as the rear goes. The 6 is certainly already one of the best looking sedans on the market. Almost got one myself until I realized I didn't need the extra space. The last refresh made it look a big less edgy. I wonder if they will continue in that direction to appease the older crowd.

The good news is that the 3 fills what I call the "Euro Car" slot nicely, as it is sporty, handles awesome, and is well appointed. The interior space of the 3 and 6 differed very little, which is why they decided to upsize the 6.

I had a 6, it was a fantastic FWD car. This doesn't bother me as the folks that want the sports sedan can migrate to the 3 without any real issues, if size bothers them. Its important for Mazda to have a competitive midsize sedan than can fill out that spot in the lineup. Those bread and butter cars pay the bills for our nitche cars, so be nice to them when you see them on the road.
