Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2008 6:08 am) "I've never sold a B-series truck, and only one tribute "    It's those vehicles that bring the Mazda brand image down.   Most people don't even know the B-Series truck even exists. It is ridiculous to correlate the B-series with negative brand image for Mazda. Mazda has a long history of selling compact trucks. Mazda heritage includes the REPU in 194-1977 with rotary engine. REPU is still sought out by enthusiasts. Mazda BT-50 is sold globally with the exception of North America. It is a nice truck with good quality and it fits with Mazda brand. It would be a welcome addition to Mazda in North America.   It would be great if Mazda would develop a small SUV or Crossover to compete with Tiguan, RAV4, CRV size vehicles instead of using Ford's Escape.   Mazda6 is a decent effort. My criticism is that it is too large, too heavy, too expensive and there is no hatch or wagon. I simply prefer the Japanese and European versions of the Atenza/Mazda6 compared to the one offered in U.S.. Replies to this message: qddave (Sep 08, 2008 9:29 am) aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2008 12:24 pm)

Add two doors and tone down the styling.   Dave

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 08, 2008 7:22 am) I have been a so-called naysayer about the V6 epa mgp ratings and still believe it is not good for Mazda to be several points under in that category. I have lauded the new Mazda6 in this forum many times but still feel that this hurts from a marketing viewpoint as the average midsize buyer doesn't spend time on these forums but do see the window stickers.   I hope other professional reviews come up with higher than epa averages for the Mazda6 V6 as well as customer "real world" feedback. It would make me more comforatable in considering the purchase of it. However, the vast majority of people still look at and compare vehicles by the EPA ratings and I still believe it was a mistake to from a marketing standpoint not to place more emphasis on being more competitive in that area.   Before anyone starts beating their chest....let's wait to see other examples of this much better fuel economy we can gather.

Replying to: moparbad (Sep 08, 2008 9:02 am) It is not ridiculous to correlate the B-Series in the brand image, because organizations take into account all the vehicles the brand sells. The B-Series sells about 1,500 units/ year. While I think it's pointless to even consider them in a reliability survey, they are always included, especially with CR and JD Powers.   Mazda does have a crossover that competes with the Tiguan, RAV and CRV, It's called the CX-7. It's less expensive then the Tiguan when comparably equipped and the CX-7 has far more power and more features.

Replying to: m6user (Sep 08, 2008 9:33 am) I also believe that the EPA estimates on the window sticker could hurt potential sales. However, I am stunned at the fact that it got better "real world" fuel economy then both Accord and Altima. While Edmunds testing may not be what many owners may experience, it is a fair and balanced test because all vehicles were tested in the same conditions and went through the same tests and Mazda came out on top.

Replying to: rupbre (Sep 08, 2008 1:02 pm) Can't complain about that!

Replying to: rupbre (Sep 08, 2008 1:02 pm) It would be nice if the 2009 Mazda6 owners would post in the "real world mpg" thread as well.
#1123 of 2116 Re: Drove the 2009 Mazda6 V6 Grand Touring [keitha3] by sedmund Sep 08, 2008 (5:11 pm)
Replying to: keitha3 (Sep 07, 2008 5:45 pm) Keith,   Good luck on your purchase. I've had a CX-9 for a year now and I'm perfectly happy so far with it. Especially every time when I get to drive it on the back roads I know it's too early to talk much about in terms of reliability, but no problems what so ever till now. Both my sales dealer and the service dealer (two different ones) have been quite friendly.
