I liked the Mazda6 I test drove last June, but that wagon end looks like ass.

Upon actually opening the link, I stand by my statement, the purple wagon looks like ass. However the red sedan render looks quite nice. How come that wasn't the pic you linked? lol

I thought somebody said the 6 was getting axed completely.

I hope not, I have always like the 6.

I rented one for a week back a couple years, and it was the sport wagon, and absolutely loved it, and decided that if i was ever in the market for a wagon like that, i would get a 6.

However, that rendering looks like shit! :barf:

I've always liked the 6 too, was hoping I could find a used sportback or wagon in my price range when I was looking for my Focus but they were a few grand too high. They look like a much more expensive car than they really are, but I've heard nothing but great things about the way they drive.

As per article, The next Mazda 6 SEDAN will be a single global model that will grow significantly in size as Mazda aims at the world’s biggest sedan markets – the US, China and Russia - WE ARE NOT GETTING THE WAGON.

That red one looks very sleek. The purple one looks like an ugly(er) Highlander.

That's the piece of crap built by uaw being discontinued.

New 6 will come from Japan.

Mazda is probably going to go bankrupt because they cars are made in Japan. If the new 6 is made in Japan then they will be going bankrupt for sure. They are losing their Flat Rock plant because Ford is kicking them to the curb and need the space to make more Fords anyway.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-02/mazda-says-it-s-considering-capital-increase-after-losses-mount.html

They are flailing around trying to find another "partner" (read: Owner). There are very few companies right now that have any interest and Mazda has nothing to offer any potential partners. VW and GM certainly have no need for them, neither does Ford, and there's no one else right now.

The best possible hope is that Chrysler might take them on. Mazda actually does pretty well in China with their jont Venture and in the rest of Asia and Australia too, and Chrysler/FIAT desperately needs to get into these markets where they have no presence. Sergio is saying they might be up for it.

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20120306-705597.html

In return Chrysler could let Mazda piggy back on the next Sebring/Avenger/Chrysler midsize platform for the new 6, because they won't be able to afford a new 6 on their own. If not them they will have to start looking for Chinese or Indian companies for financing.

Don't blame Flat Rock for the 6 being crap as they are only assembling the crappy parts Mazda supplied them. The Mustangs they assemble are pretty reliable. The 6 has never been a strong seller in the US as Americans simply don't want to pay $$$ for a Mazda and anything more than a 3 they are looking at Honda, Toyota, Nissan or the Domestics. You can now see why Ford cut ties with Mazda as they are in bad shape.

The Mazda 6 just never took off. They depreciate like mad as well.

WTF is LWD?

I think he meant LWB, long wheel base.

I've always liked the 6. However, the purple render looks like the work of Arash. The red one looks much better.

I absolutely love wagons, but with the exception of the protege 5 rust machine and the lancer wagon the Japanese cannot build a nice wagon.

The 6 wagon looks horrible and the camry wagon is aztec ugly imo.

That being said the 6 sedan has always looked great.

The interior isn't as eye-catching as the exterior.

I'm not saying it's bad; it's not great either.

Other than the low rate NAV, everything looks great.

I since UAW won't be building this one, may be the quality will improve.

If they make a mazdaspeed version with awd and manual transmission I will literally splooge.

All I want is another affordable car with a nice interior, good power, stick and awd.

Ever since the WRX's interior started being made out of nothing but hard plastic and they stopped making my car and the spec B, this hasn't existed.

I have an 04 M6 wagon, TBH, this new one looks quite similar to my 04... which I love, hope they don't screw it up.

Seeing how crappy the MSP6 did, I highly doubt you'll ever see that. I'll bet they were losing money left, right and centre with that car. Mazda's problem was.. Subaru. MSP6 was just their version of the Legacy GT. Maybe if the Subaru didn't put the EJ25T into the Legacy, they would've owned that market.

That market is empty these days though.

No more 2.5 GT (let alone the spec b which was the only trim of the legacy that had comparable performance) and the only comparable cars out now are significantly more expensive.

As for the 3.6 R... Automatic, v6 and significantly slower then both the speed 6 and Spec B = boo.

The market is empty because there isn't a market. People that tend to buy midsize sedans are overly conservative. People that want AWD and turbo have the WRX, STI, EVO, A3, A4, etc.

Plastic, Plastic, Plastic, Expensive, Expensive...

I know you're right but I wish some one would go for it again.
