it looks really nice,

MZR or V6 3.7 ? isnt that Ford's engine ? Hmm is like 100 hp differents ... hmm

Meh, lets see how much they gonna sell them for.

 

...all show & no go.

Wake me up when it's over or if they take another, more successful run at a MS6.

 

so i saw one of these in person today in a parking lot, a white one w/ distributor plates. it looked real slick in person. the backlight is very fast and the tail very short, so it looks a bit like a 5-door liftback. it looked real nice, i like it a lot. and it wasn't as big as i thought it'd be

 

looks like a mercedes

 

The 3.7? Nope. Ford wouldn't let Mazda use the crap 3.5 Duratec, so Mazda snapped back at them with their own 3.7.

 

With the flared/raised wheel wells, I agree - a lot of newer sedans are starting to adopt that S series Merc look.

And I'm not sure yet if it's good or bad. The bangled BMWs turned out to be big design faux paux, and I guess time will tell if this does also.

 

I don't think this new Mazda6 looks too good. I was expecting a huge improvement from the previous MY, but this exterior, along with the rest of the cars specs don't do too much for me. The front of the car is bland..especially with that lower lining on the front bumper..makes it look like it's wearing braces. On the other hand, the back and side profile resemble the Lexus LS...and other Toyotas.

What the hell happened to this idea?



Those diamond style headlights looked great.

Also 6.2 to 60 is pretty disappointing for the V6. 22 city mpg is not too impressive for a four cylinder either, and the V6 manages a weak 17 city and 25 hwy mpg...which is almost as bad as our cars. Almost makes it pointless to buy the s model instead of waiting a couple years for a factory turbo.

Unimpressive

 

I get 16.5 to 27 MPG on my G8 GT!

Unless I put the petal to the metal.

361 ponies. Now dyno tuned to get 391, otherwise still stock.

 

Right, and Mazda has never used flared fenders before; they must be 'adopting' this look from the 'almighty' m-b.

 

Even more disappointing when it's for a rotary so-called sports car.

Then I guess the camry and accord and sonata are even less impressive, with their 21 mpg, and the malibu with a smaller engine is also 'not too impressive' with 22 mpg as well.

As does the malibu V6, which has showed to get better real world mileage than the camcord; no reason the 6 shouldnt as well. Just more reasons why idiots shouldnt go by EPA ESTIMATES.

Just like the outdated and outclassed rx8.

 

Before recent models, there weren't too many four door, family sedans, having RX-8esque flared wheel wells, AFAIK.

 

I think it looks sharp...both the interior and the exterior look great. Looks like it is worth a lot more than it really is priced at. Nice job mazda.

I still wish we got the Euro/Jap version here. It looks better than the USDM model.
