I actually like the Mazda 6 it looks bette than the rest of the cars in it's class and it will atract alot of oung buyers. it looks like the TL type S with the Kit up front

Looks Nice
 
Specs are sucky though. 220HP and 190 Ft/tq?

I like the 5-spd though! So...what is Mazdas service like?

Not to mention i'm sure this will handle pretty well, just like the rest of their line-up.

how about the 200 hp jetta GLI with 6 sp manual?

That new Mazda 6 is nice! Anybody know what pricing will be on it? I know it's replacing the 626, which was in the 18-23K range. But will the new 6 also be replacing the Millenia too?

I never thought I would say this but thats a nice looking Mazda. Specs arent all that, but it kinda looks flossy but nothing compared to our Max. Is it me or does it look to similiar to the Acura TL??

Ha 5-spd automatic....2004 Maxima better be good.:hmmph:

man if that was a rotary then i would be jumping out of the max for that car.. too bad it's a four banger.. but it does put a good amount of power for just being a 4 banger. gosh cars look cooler and cooler now, the futuristic cars i've seen in movies are beginning to roam around on our streets.. it's timeslike this i feel like i'm frozen in time...

^^ The standard motor is an I-4, the optional motor is a V-6 with 220hp.

If you want a rotary powered car just wait another year and but the RX-8...4 door NA rotary powered car that looks like a coupe.

Very Nice...Mazda 6 Yellow

This is more like comp for the Altima.

- Nice styling, except for the altezzas, which IMO look too busy
- Sounds from the specs like the V6 is probably an updated Ford Duratec (Ford Taurus), which is no VQ in power/torque or refinement
- MPG is no better than the 3.5L VQ
- Curb weight comparable to the Altima
- Handling should be very good, judging by the most recent Mazda products
- Interior dimensions are smaller than the Altima

I did not see any interior shots except for the shifter... Did I miss anything?

It should be a good fight.

Mazdaspeed is probably going to come out with an S/C for this as well.

The Mazda 6 is not replacing the Millenia. However when the 6 comes out Mzda will stop production on the 626 and the Millenia the RX 8 is replacing the Millenia when it debuts.

The RX8 is not replacing the Millenia. The Millenia was Mazda's attempt at creating a luxury car, which was going to be their "lexus". They failed, so it's going to be dropped.

Also, the US version of the Mazda 6 WILL NOT be getting the Altezzas/Euros. It has been confirmed by Mazda in a press release. The rear will look like this: http://www.mazdausa.com/mazda6/image...gallery_02.jpg
