I do not think our version will be any different then the euro one. At least as far as the body and platform are concerned.
 
Remember those spy shots we saw of the new 6 around Detroit? It's the same car!
 
Also, the teaser pic that Mazda North American Operations posted on MazdaUSA.com is the same as the pic's that were leaked. I really doubt there will be much of a difference, if any.

I really like the look of this redesign, especially the wagon, but I fear we won't get that. I do hope this is the version the U.S. will get. However, it wouldn't surprise me if they bloat it up and make it more Camry-like for us (yuck). Let's keep our fingers crossed that they don't mess it up by going for the lowest common denominator in this market. Here are the additional pics.

Well I just totaled my Acura CL a few days ago by carguy58

and I do take great interest in buying a 2007 or 2008 Mazda 6 however I have my issue of CR that I bought and CR has black dots for trouble spots such as transmission and brakes for the 6 so does the 6 have alot of tranny problems and brake problems? Also owner satisfaction is under average for the 6's 4cyl trim but CR does rate the 6's reliability as average still. The question is the 6 a reliable car or its give me trouble back to the service department for the tranny and brake problems? Other cars I am considering are the Ford Fusion, a 2005 Acura TSX, and a 2007 or 2008 Mazda 3s.

The transmission in the 2006 and later 4 cyl Mazda6 is not the same as that in the 2005 and earlier. The 2006 went to a 5 speed automatic, the earlier versions had a 4 speed. I am not certain, but I would guess that the new 5 speed auto is the same one that is in the 4 cyl Fusion.
 
So whatever the value of CR's little colored dots for the Mazda6 may be, they tell you nothing about the new transmission.

That looks like a Hatchback. A 2009 Euro Hatch.

Well I test drove a 2007 Mazda 6 by carguy58

today and it was a pretty good. Very tight steering but not a very wide turning circle when compared to my(former)Acura. Very nice view out and even the wing spoiler doesnlt block your view at all in the rear. I was expecting a big drop-off in terms of driving dynamics in the Mazda 6 when compared to the Acura but it wasn't that big of a drop-off. The 6 is heck alot of better to drive than the Cobalt I am renting now. Its not that I don;t like the Cobalt I just don;t like driving compact cars.
 
Anyway when are the 2009 6's coming out I don;t know when I will be able to buy an 07 6 because my settlement check for the Acura hasn't come in(that I totaled) and have to wait for it to come in. Will the'll be 08 model year for the 6?

This car looks gorgeous. Man oh man, when they bring it here I hope they don't screw it up and introduce some fat, dumbed down, bloated version of the car we see above. I can't help but think of the 2003-07 North American Honda Accord, compared to the Euro Accord (our Acura TSX). Or even worse, our 2008 Focus compared to the Euro Focus also revealed in Frankfurt.
 
At least it sounds like the hatchback will stay.

Really? I had a Cobalt as a loaner for 1 day and thought it was a pile of junk.

Yes. The '08 will still be the first-gen and available in sedan or 5-door. The wagon and 'Speed are gone.
