I've never thought of Mazda as a luxurious car company. They have always struck me as a sporty company with a few boring sedans. They appear to be fixing that problem...   I bet that the new 6 will have option packages to turn it into a BMW-esque luxury vehicle. Meaning luxurious and comfortable without sacrificing it's sporty roots.   Give it a chance before dismissing Mazda - this car will probably be more than you think it will. And if you still decide to stop buying Mazdas, they don't need to worry - if this car is everything it looks like it is going to be (and they bring the 4-door hatchback to the US), this will be my first Mazda. I had been dreaming of the day Ford brought the Mondeo ST220 here, but I think that I like this one better. And I miss my old Civic hatchback.

Mazda will have a really fantastic lineup if they update the Protege to the "3" and make it based on the Focus platform,   The 6 sedan, hatch, and wagon- although I doubt the hatch will make it over here *sniff sniff*   The Miata (which they should rename the MX-5, as it is called everywhere else)   The MPV, and the Tribute   I'm quite impressed...Mazdas have always been good little cars, light years better than Mitsubishis in my opinion.

#34 of 17805 5-door hatch by panamaltd2 Oct 19, 2001 (6:01 pm)
Mazda has said that it will be bringing the hatch over here to the US! I am first in line! Things are really starting to heat up over at Mazda.   Go Mazda!!!   Zoom Zoom Zoom   P.S.- I highly doubt wood grain trim, it would ruin the interior IMO. I love, love, love the brushed alluminum inside of the 6, very upscale and sporty.

is it really brushed aluminum or is it 80's style boombox plastic?
#36 of 17805 Mazda Luxury by milleniaman1 Oct 20, 2001 (6:08 am)
I know Mazda is not a luxurious car company...I do not consider my old Protege or 626 to be a luxury car...but the Millenia was designed from the ground up to be a Luxury car. If you anyone doesn't already know...Mazda was going to start its own Luxury division called Amati...the Millenia was going to be the flagship sedan. The new Mazda 6 does not have these same roots. I really like the Millenia a lot, because it is unique. It's not a clone of anything like the Maxima and I35 or the Camry and ES300. I suppose I've owned enough Mazdas anyway...I plan on keeping my Millenia S for about 5 years.
#37 of 17805 Are there two different automatics? by djcunnin Oct 20, 2001 (6:42 am)
I noticed in one picture there is a gated shifter with manumatic mode, in another there's an old fashiond non-manumatic...is one maybe the four cyl, and the other the 6.   At any rate...I absolutely LOVE the looks of this car, inside and out. I am a big Nissan fan (especially the Maxima), and I just walked away from an incredible accident where my Maxima literally saved my life....I may buy another, but this car is gorgeous! I wish it was out now so I could test it.   Way to go Mazda! If the price and performance are right..this will be a big hit (as long as it tought traditional Japanese quality)
#38 of 17805 Yes by maxamillion1 Oct 20, 2001 (7:02 am)
The 4 cylinder will have an optional 4 speed automatic, while the V6 will have an optional 5 speed manumatic, notice I said optional, meaning a 5 speed manual will be standard!!

The problem with autoweek is that they make a lot of assumptions. Many a time autoweek has predicted the wrong thing or provided wrong information. All the reports that I have seen indicate the 5-door will be coming to the US. Also I do believe that is really aluminum trim but what ever it is it sure looks snazzy. It really sets the interior apart from other cars.   Zoom-Zoom!
