So I think that is a good thing--yet another option for mid-sized sedan buyers, and a Japanese-made car at that. In fact, when it arrives it could be the only mid-sized family sedan sold in the U.S. sourced entirely from Japan. |

Replying to: lilengineerboy (May 04, 2008 1:41 pm) I'm still reserving my final judgment until I drive it. I do like what I see so far. If I had never seen the JDM Mazda6, I would like this one even better. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 05, 2008 8:34 am) From what I have seen so far, the 2009 Mazda 6 would absolutely be at the top of my list among mid-size sedans. I have had several of the current generation Mazda 6s as rentals and like them OK - except for the noisy 4 cyl engine - but I would never have considering buying one. The 2009 with the 3.7 engine will be a definite possibility, though. |

Replying to: m6user (May 05, 2008 8:55 am) Or: 1. They're a little annoyed that they didn't wait to get the '09 and got a '07-'08 instead. 2. They're too young and/or ignorant to fully realize that the Mazda6 is supposed to be a Midsize Sedan, and not a riced-out Civic with graphics, 22" wheels and a two-tiered wing that can double as a set of bleachers.  Of the other Midsize Sedans, Mazda's got a winner IMO. Being a current 6 owner, I'd like to think that my tastes have matured since 2004, and so has the second-gen 6.

Replying to: m6user (May 05, 2008 8:55 am) Initially, I noticed it by chance, then I said to myself "myself, I wonder if this really is the thought out there". So, I looked and I confirmed my suspicions. I think some Mazda6 owners will not be satisfied until it looks and drives like a Ferrari but still costs $20,000 I think most Mazda owners are bummed about no hatch and no mtx in the V6, as am I. However, I will still look at it, because Mazda has appeared to improve on what needed improvement. From what I am hearing on the Mazda front, the pricing will relatively stay close to what it is now. That's a good thing. |

Replying to: mz6greyghost (May 05, 2008 9:06 am) I'm right there with you on that. What I have been hearing is that our new 6 got quite bigger. Not as big as Camcord, but quite possibly near the size of the Altima. The more and more I hear from my Mazda buddies, the more I begin to think Mazda looked at Nissan's success with the Altima, and went that route in engineering the Mazda6.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (May 05, 2008 9:06 am) Because a number of cars were equally acceptable based on more important attributes, appearance and price were really the deciding factors for me in choosing the Mazda6. I doubt the pricing will be as favorable and appearance-wise, I'm not sure if the new mazda6 would be my top pick. I don't really think there is anything that will be out next year that would clearly stand out for me in terms of appearance, like the mazda6 did in 2006-07. But, of course, personal tastes in styling varies. |
