Press Release:

looks bulky and heavier than current gen

Looks fantastic to me.

It looks awesome, more upscale look. I like the exterior already, but I think the biggest improvement will be found in the interior and powertrain (AWD option). The 3.5L V6 coupled with the Haldex AWD will get many buyers' attention. The V6 runs on 87 octane and should be pretty good on fuel economy, also you cant find a AWD camry and accord. Also AWD + 2.5L I4 will satisfy many buyers who want an economical AWD sedan.

The Duratec 6 isn't a bad motor, lots of pep. It's prime for turbocharging a la Lincoln MKR - a 415 HP AWD MS6 sounds pretty tempting to me -

clearly the idea that some of the inspiration for the new styling comes from the Merc CL has some merit

all design spurs from the 8's body! lol

wow, look so much better!

I think it's the other way around. Mercedes didn't start looking good until recently. Mazdas had the bird of prey-like appearance even when Mercs still had bug eyes.

wait until you see an uncamouflaged Mazda6 profile

sigh zoom nce again knows inside scoop. :(

the Force is strong in Zoom. :)

the front does look good.

OK.

The new CL-class Mercs are great-looking, especially the profile, so it is a good thing.

Official New Mazda6 Photo
 

Released this morning. They keep calling it a "teaser" so I am not sure if it is the final product or something similar. Either way I like it a lot more than a lot of the spy photos I have been seeing.

Damn!! Shes Pretty!!! I Like It Looks Real Good,

I don't know. Considering how good the Mondeo looks I'd have to say I'm a bit disappointed in this photo. Can't wait to see the rest though, it's hard to tell what's going on with it here.

Mondeo?

Are you sure, map?

I don't think they're even in the same league.

wow actually looks really good from what we can see. Im impressed. Cant wait to see the rest next month :)

^that's the old one


I'm not sure i like this mazda6 better than the current one

This is better, but still don't think it has any design advantage over the new 6.
The 6 is looking more graceful/flowing while the Mondeo looks technical/mechanical.

Just like a girl, I wanna see the ass before I give it a thumbs up.

I like the front end for sure

I like that front end! I see hints of 8 in the wheel arches and I really like the headlight cluster!
