Come January I think Ford may be the first one to offer 6 speed trannys exclusively - no 4 or 5 speeds in the Fulan.

Has anyone test driven both of these cars? Curious as to which one is a better handling vehicle. Thank you.

I don't know for sure but it has to be the Mazda6.

the question was of brand seperation, so i widened the horizon a bit.
i didn't realize mazda's made their extra power versus fords, until recently when it was evened out, due to just using VVT.

ever see a ford mx-5? a ford rotary?
of course not, that would be way too creative for any of the former 'Big 3'. The RXs and the Miatas are great examples of what Mazda in this case can do right if left to its own means. I only hope that Ford is forced to divest itself of Mazda and then we might see more of the same. How about a Mazda6 that is revolutionary and innovative as opposed to one that is evolutionary and more of the same?

Without Ford cash in the 1990s there would be no Mazda6. For that matter, no Mazda, period.

Ford does NOT tell Mazda which vehicles to sell or not sell. They simply share engineering where it makes sense for both companies.

There is not much revolution that can be placed into a mid-sized family car these day's. Many thought the 1st gen Mazda6 was revolutionary, particularly in terms of the drive. The second generation is always an evolutionary process. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. That being said, the Mazda6 does offer a lot, especially on the technology side, in terms of features that are not commonly found in a non premium mid-sized sedan. Add that to the sportiest drive of the bunch, and you have a vehicle that stands out.
