Replying to: backy (Oct 25, 2007 7:06 pm) Could 2009 be the year there's another car at the top of the mid-sized heap, by press consensus? Maybe the new Mazda6?   Considering they won over 100 different awards with the first-gen...

Replying to: joe97 (Oct 26, 2007 6:06 am) Also known as a midcycle refresh.   We're hearing rumors that the 09 Fusion refresh might be delayed but no confirmation. I guess we'll know for sure in January at NAIAS. Replies to this message: joe97 (Oct 26, 2007 6:34 am)

Replying to: backy (Oct 25, 2007 7:06 pm) I'm with you on that one...I don't see 'Yota refreshing the Camry after two model years. 2010 will bring the refreshed Camry, though toyota has been known to do partial changes. Like engine changes before a refresh, then refreshing the body itself.   2010 brings a Refreshed Altima...and from what I've been seeing a new galant should be out by 2009. If its anything like the Lancer is now, the Galant might turn out to be competitive with the value leaders of the group.   What's funny is that the Midsize Family sedan forums are probably the most hotly contested forums on Edmunds.com yet NOBODY ever does many comparison tests on these cars anymore.   Not yet have we seen a comparison of the new Accord verse more than the Camry. It's a shame IMO. I'm ready to see the Malibu compared to others in this class as well because I really like the 'Bu and have always liked the Aura.   If Saturn made the Aura available with a I4 (which is going to be avaialble this year) with a stick shift. I'd take it over the Altima and everything else in this class except for maybe the new Accord.   The Aura so far is my favorite domestic sedan.

The Altima was her second choice, but won out due to the 6-speed with the 2.5.

Replying to: maxamillion1 (Oct 26, 2007 7:42 am) Camry refresh may be "early" because the 2007 Camry actually came out early in 2006. Replies to this message: joe97 (Oct 26, 2007 12:42 pm) jaxs1 (Oct 26, 2007 4:32 pm)

Replying to: maxamillion1 (Oct 26, 2007 7:42 am) While the current generation (2004+?) was representative of Mitsubishi losing its mojo, if this is the new Galant, it looks as promising as the 1999 version did. And although has conceptual details to it, do I see an i-Drive thingy there (right by the knob based gear selector)? I detest those things.
