I read somewhere that the reason their changing the U.S model is because it needs to "look bigger" because buyers think the current 6 looked too small compared to other mid size sedans. Go figure....

 

I know the US made New Mazda 6 is larger but the New 6 has just been launched in Australia, I have the brochure.

Thought I would let you know the colors..

Crystal White Pearl
Velocity Red

Interior

Black Cloth (2 styles) main background with a small beige looking square patter or with stripes.

Let me know if you want more info off the brochure.

 

Wow, they ruined it! I love the current 6 and the silver euro version looks great. The red car just looks lopsided and disfigured. What the heck happened?

 

I do not like this at all. The Euro version looks very good and this is just...ugh.

 

I'm just praying its the angle of the shots that make this thing look like a Ford Fusion made it with a Mazda3, and this is their retarded offspring.

 

it really does look like a rebadged ford fusion..

 

It's the grill. It ruined the whole thing.

 

exactly go back to the mesh of the euro version and its fine

 

interestingly enough it looks like Australia/Japan have a 3rd version

Australia/Japan




euro



us

 

one definite improvement in the us would be to remove the upper, body colored bar of the grill and have that line defined by the hood like in the euro and aus/japan version

 

no, thats same as the JDM sport model.

well the pic is from the australian site so aus spec = jdm spec. ill correct that thanks

 

damn, we got the redheaded stepchild of the mazda 6 gene pool....

 

I believe thats the sport/hatch we're seeing.
They still get the non-sport/sedan model, which is the euro pic.

and the US one looks like crap. I can't believe they ditched that beautiful headlight.

quick chop

 

Just what I was going to say.. It's a shame!

 

Keep on chopping Charlie. Remove the cheap fog surrounds, stretch the headlamps and let's show Mazda NA what this could look like. It's not too late.

Seal.

 

E-mail to Mazda :

"I would just like to know why the new US version of the Mazda 6 has to look so wretched in comparison to the European and Japanese models. Is there a valid reason for it's headlights being half the size of the better looking versions? The grille and front bumper also have something that just isn't right about them. I heard it's supposed to look bigger for the US, but it looks like a minivan and VW Beetle's mutant offspring... Did Ford have something to do with this? I saw they put suspension linkages made of recycled naval anchors on the last 6. The "lower grille", especially the cheap fogs, has some resemblance to the Fusion also... "


E-mail Blitzkrieg on the new 6!!!!

 

The non-US version looks like a Japanese BMW while the US version looks like a cheap Ford with a small infusion of Mazda DNA. How'd they accomplish that?

Floppin, you need to become a writer when you get older .

Seal.

 

ha, I have a parallelism issue in the last sentence though. the verb "has" works for the grille but i need to use "have" for fogs....


The US always get the crap versions of cars too. Not sure if it's still true, but I think in the 80s/90s Ford's euro cars were supposed to be pretty cool.

ETHANOL PLUG:
Not only does it burn cleaner and act as a form of liquid solar power, but it's oxygenated (power) and has a higher octane. If we used ethanol all of our cars would be able to get the same outputs as the JDM cars if not better.

 

higher octane, but less power per gallon. It's not "free" fuel either. It costs fuel to make due to fertilizers and farm equipment. It also causes food prices to rise because corn is used for feed. Farmland that grows corn might otherwise be producing other things.

Take away gov't subsidies and ethanol goes away. It's not feasible, and it sucks.

I'd rather see diesel cars here that get 55+ mpg instead.

 

looks good but, not as good as i was expecting.

 

They should've stuck with the formula that made the first gen a winner. They should've produced one really good car and sell the SAME car everywhere.

This car goes against the Mazda moto, "to not be the biggest carmaker but a niche brand for car enthusiast" I'm sure they could've kept on gaining market share and accolades around the world a second time around.

 

...

 

i dont know that the headlights are a different size

look where they meet the bumper cut lines
