geez Chikoo, are you hunting down all the old posts?
 
I'm doin ok. I took some time away from Edmunds but came back to have a little break every now and then from work.
 
How's your 6 holding up? Planning to trade it for an '09 next year?

It is doing really good.
It has no more or no less rattles than when it was brand new.
In fact my wife who drives a RX300 is so mad with Lexus that she is contemplating buying a Mazda, looking at my track record.
 
btw, it has been ages for me too since I have visited this forums. and when I do, who do I see posting.....YOU!

The Mazda6 sold in Germany is made in Japan and the Mazda6 sold in USA is made in Michigan. There may be major differences in quality between assembly plants.

No. There are not. IIRC, one of the posters here work for MNAO and he had the chance to drive both the Japanese and US version of Mazda6. Identical in fit and finish and build quality. That said, I had a made-in-japan '99 Mazda Protege for 5 years and now the US built Mazda6 for 4 years. Build quality is identical. Very tight.

Yes there are differences. I have driven both Japan and Michigan assembled Mazda6 and not only are there differences in assembly quality, there are differences in components and quality.
 
The build quality is absolutely not identical.
 
I can attest to this as I own a Hiroshima built Protege and a Flat Rock built Mazda6.
 
While they are both silver, the resemblance ends there. The Protege has better build quality.
 
We do not share the same anecdotal experience chikoo.

Such as? I would certainly like to know about them.

you won't feel anything worthwhile until after you get past 4k on the tach,,,by 5k you feel the pull...low end sucks on the V6 but the high end is nice. the VT saves gas i think that's the only reason for it. I would've liked more off the line jump but you can stomp on the pedal and she'll move,,,
