#1 of 768 Here is the new place to discuss the Mazda6 Hatchback. by revka Jan 21, 2002 (6:48 am)
This is also a continuation of this previous (now archived) Mazda6 hatchback discussion. And to start, here's a direct link to Edmunds' preview article of the 3003 Mazda 6 from 10/17/2001. Thanks for your comments.   Revka Host Hatchbacks / Station Wagons / Women's Auto Center Boards
#3 of 768 Also, here's some more news... by revka Jan 21, 2002 (7:06 am)
from Edmunds' Daily Headlines section:   "Mazda replaces its slow-selling 626 sedan in 2003 with a new midsize car called the Mazda6, the requisite four-door sedan will be the first to arrive. A four-door hatchback, a body style not available in the midsize segment, and a wagon, which few rivals offer, will follow later in the year."   Read the full story here: Mazda Goes Along with Trend by Introducing New Hatchback, Chicago Tribune, 2002-01-21. What do you think? If you come across more information about the Mazda6 hatchback, feel free to share it here.

#4 of 768 Looks a lot like a Sedan by gregg21 Jan 21, 2002 (10:31 am)
I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but it looks a lot like a Sedan, except for the rear wiper. Pretty sweet ride though... looks like a cross betweenan Acura TL and a Lexus IS 300, and with a lower price to boot.   Wonder if the seat fold flat?   Greg
#5 of 768 The body lines up to the trunk area by elec3 Jan 21, 2002 (11:58 am)
Look very similar to the Protege5. If you cut that picture like so:   And what you have is a yellow Protege5 Still, I imagine Mazda will do something to make the 6 larger inside than the 5 and Protege sedan, otherwise there wouldn't be much point. I'm happy to see it though, the 626 is getting to be a horribly dated design and is not enough car to compete with the Toyotas and Hondas of the world.   PS: Apologies to Edmunds for reposting that picture. The 2-second Photoshop was the easiest way for me to let everyone out there see what I was seeing.
#6 of 768 This is the best looking of the three 6 models... by csandste Jan 21, 2002 (4:36 pm)
we need more hatchbacks. Bring it on!
#7 of 768 Definitely bring the 5-door to the US by manticore Jan 22, 2002 (8:14 pm)
I've owned two Mazda 626 5 doors in the past. I currently have a 1990 626 GT 5 door which I'm looking to replace in the next year or so. I would definitely be interested in a 5 door Mazda 6 should it be offered in the US. It has to be offered with a 5 speed manual, however. A turbo on top of that would be even better. My current GT is a 5 speed with turbo and I love it. I saw the 5 door Mazda 6 at the Detroit International Auto Show and it was very sharp. Much more interesting than the sedan version.

#9 of 768 hello? by kenoka May 11, 2002 (6:10 pm)
This poor thread seems to be sleeping. I too think the hatchback is the best looking of the three. The sedan and the wagon are both gorgeous, but the hatchback is simply breathtaking! If I wanted to raise a bit of ruckus, I might say that the sedan is reminiscent of the IS300/Altezza (hmm, Altezza, Atenza...maybe that's why it's called the 6), and the wagon looks a bit like the Audi A4 Avant. The hatchback on the other hand looks very unique. Opinions?

Opinions, Kenoka? I agree, the Atenza/6 is the child of a Altezza/A4 Avant. It's a new breed of small-midsize sporty sedan/wagon. The 5-door hatchback, though, needs reintroduction. It got my parents into an Accord back in 1982. The new Accord and new 6 should be somewhat similar, dontcha think?
