Mazda will not make that mistake. Now is not the time for mistakes. Now is the opportunity Mazda has waited for for decades. All of Mazdas recent moves have been right on. This is the biggest move they've ever made and there is no chance they will make a mistake.

Any one know where the aux might be (if any)?
I want start button in the LHD RX-8 too!!! without going so much trouble of course, which is $210+ for the JDM button, then retro fit into the LHD or somewhere else.
Damn it Mazda, why couldn't that be one of the improvement of 2008 RX-8...

The person who told me 6 months ago that this car will have a 3.7L (you can look this up, it was even before the CX-9 was announced for a new engine) also told me that Mazda WILL BE PRODUCING THE US BOUND MAZDA6 IN JAPAN, and that their American days are over. I really hope this is the case, because the Japanese Mazda's are at a completely different standard than the American cars. <-- I've owned both.

It looks like Mazda is trying to break lose from Ford slowly. What are they still sharing, engine and platform on bread and butter vehicles. Now if Mazda can solve that...
Hey Wiggum, did the person tell you anything about rotary? =)

great looking car. i can't wait to see one in person soon.. I really want to see a remake of the Mazdaspeed 6 soon too. The life of that car was just too short.

Preach it brother, preach it!!
This car is gorgeous though. My inside source told me that the "Big Boy who matters" (That's code by the way) wanted this car to be as significant as the 3 has been vs the Protege when it is compared to the 6 it is replacing.
Thank God that the "Big Boy" usually gets what he wants and deep down he's really one of us.

Looks nice, but there are a lot of nice looking sedans in that segment. How it drives will be the defining factor, though Mazda has usually been pretty good with that aspect.
VERY NICE!!! I wonder what the power will be like..

I agree with you on the quality part!

Yes he did, and from what I can say, the rotary development isn't going anywhere...

There is a bigger chance of having a MS Turbo RX-8 next year than another Mazda6 Wagon in the US.
