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 10:06 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 10:13 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: mz6greyghost (May 05, 2008 5:20 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. |

I think most Mazda owners are bummed about no hatch and no mtx in the V6, as am I. I see a lot of that but a lot are also calling the front end downright ugly and add that the euro styling rear is a lot sharper which I think is a crock. I love the NA version exhaust pipes. Also, I don't have to dislike my current 07 "6" to appreciate the looks of the new one. |
