Replying to: moparbad (Aug 21, 2007 8:46 am) If your post # 37 is accurate, then you must be (unfortunately  ) correct. Whenever they update the 6, the 1st thing they need to do is give it an engine option to bring hp at least up to 250hp and torque of at leat 200. Otherwise, it won't be sporty enough to compete with the sporty cars, and won't be luxurious enough to pull people away from stallwarts like Honda and Toyota. IMO (and I'm no expert), you've got Honda Accord and Toyota Camry setting the standard, with Honda being sportier and Toyota being more comfort/convenience. I think VW tries to compete by exceeding those two on luxury. I think the 6 is Mazda's attenpt to give people more sport and maybe a little less amenities, but it definitely needs more HP and torque to do that.

Replying to: kensey (Aug 31, 2007 12:56 pm) Ummmm...so then why is Mazda listed at ford.com under "our familiy of brands"? Ford owns about 1/3 of mazda...pretty sure that it is considered to be a controlling interest.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 28, 2007 7:21 am) No, its the way that the Accord drives that makes it a benchmark not the way it looks. The Camry has a softer ride than the Accord. The Accord has alot of going for it but I just don;t care for the looks of the last 2 gen Accords(03 and 08 models.)
