All that info sounds good, especially the engines.

Pretty much impossible to tell what it's gonna look like with those pictures unfortunately.

Wow, it looks pretty good

It seems mazda has some good control over making it look sexy. And a 5door model to boot.

I'd actually consider buying one if the specs are right. Now that I have a fun toy (once its running), the 6 needs to be less of a race car for me. The shaping so far doesn't look bad. Lets keep our fingers crossed

Is it just me or are the tailpipes really far apart? It could look cool, I'd have to see it on an unmasked model.

 

[jibrahim]

looks like no more '03 - '07 style taillights

thanx for the link , some renders or official pics will hopefully follow soon.

FWIW, not much new here. They've had the same info about the '08 6 for a while now (including the new V6, AWD, and the hybrid). You can't tell much from the photos either (which is actually the point).

looks like the new IS 250/350 models

The wikipedia article on the Mazda 6 referred to the new 2008 as going to look sort of like the Mercedes-Benz CLS -Class

Sort of similiar looking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_CLS-Class

That mule doesn't really look anything like the CLS Class. The CLS has really long, low lines. That mule looks like it has quite a stout front end and the rear is pretty tall with a short deck.

Well I suppose so but I still believe there are more similarities than differences.

Built in the US? WHY!?

Isn't the current 6 built in the US?

 

[Raynman]

Not a big fan of the increased weight and length.

 

[mk706]

the current 6 is too small for many in NA. the size is increasing to bring it more inline with the camry and other like-sized cars.

Precisely, my point. That increased weight and length is supposed to make it zoom zoomier? You can have all the power in the world with that Duratec 35, but you can't bend the laws of physics to make it not feel like a pig in the corners.

If Mazda is doing what BMW did with their 3 and 5 series, then I'd think my next Mazda would be the next variant of the 3. Or a future RWD sports coupe altogether.

+1. All we can tell is the size... thats about it.

 

[Speed6Turbo]

Its okay. Not a hugh fan of it. I agree that we need more space, especially in the trunk... But we will have to see what the final product looks like...
