Yeah wow I'm reading the autoblog one now. Very impressive indeed.
 
Here's the MT: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/1007_2011_hyundai_sonata_turbo_drive/- - specs.html
 
and the autoblog if anyone is interested: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/12/first-drive-2011-hyundai-sonata-2-0t-brings-t- - urbo-to-main-stree/
 
I'm saying wow a lot but wow: "While we'll withhold a firm verdict until we can get a production model back on U.S. soil, for the moment, the Sonata 2.0T appears to be an almost supernaturally accomplished entrant in the family sedan sweepstakes. "

autoblog uses the word "supernatural" ta describe the Sonata 2.0T? Does that mean they really like it?
 
dash5, don't get discouraged by K5's wheels. I think Schreyer has hit a styling home run with the 2011 Kia Optima's design. Love that NE ta SW slant angle for the gearshift cupholder area! Great!
 
I don't know why Kia's not showing some desirable wheels for this K5, though, either. One of the many things I love on my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS are it's cool 10-spoke wheels. The '11 Optima is done beautifully overall...I think it's a work of art. Kia, complete the deal with some real wheels now! This is a critical sales effect time for the car...make it complete, dudes.

Congrats, and welcome to the world of Mazda. I've had my '10 6S GT for close to a month now, and I've had nothing but grins on my face when behind the wheel.

I will say that Mazda's advertising is poor. That might have something to do with it.
 
Gee, ya think?
 
The ONLY advertising I've seen for the 6 in the past year is the current model year-end lease deal they're offering around here. That's it. If Mazda had half the budget of Toyota's advertising, they wouldn't have enough of 'em.

A reporter is looking to speak to consumers who were looking at mid-size vehicles and were choosing between a four and six cylinder engine but chose the four cylinder because of fuel prices or to save money. Please send your daytime phone number and the car you purchased to ctalatiedmunds.com by Monday, July 19, 2010.

Welcome 'ext123' to being a new Mazda 6 owner. The Mazda 6 is the "best kept secret of the mid-size sedan class" Owning a "6" means you like to be a little different, like a sporty drivers car and doesn't follow the boring Camry/Accord crowd over the cliff.
I own an 07 6i 5-door and love it. I only wish the current series offered a 5-door again. I had a 2003 6s w/ the 6-cyl. but it got stolen and got the 4-cyl. I find it has enough power and I like the way it "snarls" when I gun it. My MPG runs from about 24 city to 30 highway. Not Bad
BTW, The old "Zoom-Zoom" ads were great. But Mazda must have cut their ad budget.

I own a 2005 Mazda6 i 5-door 4-cyl 5-speed, and if Mazda ever brought over the current JDM Mazda6 5-door, I would buy it instantly!!

My thoughts also "aviboy95" They are making a mistake in trying to get more of the Camry/Accord crowd.
