Replying to: mz6greyghost (Aug 07, 2007 5:50 am) thanks for posting this! looks good from the front, but the profile and the back are what I think are the most important. Nice to see the real thing coming out albeit piece by piece. The front fender flair must be pretty large to get that shape up front though. Looks to be an aggressive looking car...

Replying to: joe97 (Aug 06, 2007 5:43 am) I was comparing an 03 Sonata to 03 Accord. If you are going to compare different model generations, the let's compare the '08 Accords mileage to Any Sonata made to date...   Last I checked, Sonata still hasn't reached Honda's 244 HP mark....

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Aug 07, 2007 5:50 am) Eww, I'll pass.   My honest thought? "Why is somebody posting the Mazda 2 on here?"   It looks so bulbous, tall, and narrow. It's like an Opel design gone bad, to me.   If I had to choose, I'd DEFINITELY take the current 6 over this thing.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Aug 07, 2007 5:50 am) I kinda like the hips on that in the front, it actually has a little curve to it. It looks more nimble to me, I think its because the aggressive fender flares make the car look lower and wider.

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Aug 07, 2007 12:03 pm) Just goes to show how a different design can be interpreted by different people.   I look forward to new pictures other than this awkward-looking one to help change my mind, because I like Mazda's current look (except for the Tribute and CX-7).

Replying to: thegraduate (Aug 07, 2007 12:19 pm) Yeah, I also think the pictures can be misleading...I really didn't care for the Subaru Impreza photos when they leaked/released, but it looks a bit better in person. I guess I will reserve judgment until I see it on the ground.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Aug 07, 2007 5:50 am) One pretty big thing to note about the new 6 is that it will no longer be built on the CD3 platform but rather the new Euro CD platform which the Mondeo rides on. Once the Fusion is switched over to that platform in a few years Ford will finally have their Japanese, Euro, and U.S. branded mid-sized sedans on the same platform finally.   I think the new 6 looks fantastic too BTW!
#3932 of 13339 I like the new 6 front... by andres3 Aug 07, 2007 (1:04 pm)
looks very sporty..... Mazda's version of Audi's R8?

could very well leave everyone else a "generation" behind. Replies to this message: akirby (Aug 07, 2007 5:00 pm) andres3 (Aug 07, 2007 8:18 pm)
