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. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 05, 2008 9:13 am) I think it had a LOT more to do with sharing Ford's CD platform (I forget if it's CD3 - Fusion - or EUCD - Mondeo - or some combination) which is larger than the previous Mazda6.

Replying to: akirby (May 05, 2008 12:53 pm) But they did, since it was theirs to modify in the first place. It's also known that the next Fusion will be also on the updated CD3 platform.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (May 05, 2008 4:20 pm) When the CD3 and EUCD platforms merge I'm sure the Mazda6 will use that one as well. Successful companies don't reinvent the wheel. |
