Well now we all seen the disappinting new over bloated Mazda 6 what were they thinking. Just about to replace my 2003 6 but not interested in a new one its too big looking wiht that Mitsubishi 380 hump on its bonnet and the ugly underdone rear. They pretty much screwed up the formula.. no thanks its not ugly but it aint the pretty sharp looking classical looking car the original was and its srt of camry esk ewhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Matt, did you do any research before buying the 07 Mazda 6? Great car, but if you did any online search for mazda 6 you would’ve known about the ‘08 model… pays to do your research

another mazda sales person here. this car will do exactly what the old 6 did when it was first released. it will be everywhere. looks nothing like a camry and if it did i would stop selling them! not based on the mondeo, ask mazda themselves. but all in all i cant wait to sell these things, i think ill get one to. mazda have the best looking cars on the road……….well that most people can afford anyway!

I would look at the new Madza 6 But it has no Turbo Diesel
Till 09? and why are we Servicing the Car at 10.000 km or 6 months when the states and everywhere else its 20.000km
or 12 months,..The days of 10.000 km sertvicing are over
i change my car every 2 years and do over 100,000 km so i hate getting my car serviced it just is a pain…
I would hate to be a MAZDA car salesperson

Apparently the 6 MPS has ceased production but will resume next year with the old shape MPS being sold alongside the new 6 for 12 more months.

My guess is the stoppage is to retool for a major interior upgrade which it would need to remain viable. I have sat in a Mondeo XR5 and it makes the MPS feel like a base model. What that means is at the moment you have to work hard to justify 10 thou more (than the Mondeo) for AWD and 1/2 sec to 100km/h faster. Interior is important to many MPS buyers like me who are looking for a bit of class. If 0-100 was the most important factor then I would be loking to something like a WRX.

I hope I am right because I love how the MPS drives but have always been left a little flat by its interior. I am ready to buy one but figure I will wait and see what the upgrade brings!

People,
As a Mazda carsalesman i can assure you that the New Mazda6 when it goes on sale in FEBRUARY 2008 will set new records for Mazda. I have seen the car and the photos published do not do it justice. It will also be very competitively priced and start from $29990 + ORC. It will have a 2.5l 125Kw engine and the fuel economy will be nearly 10% better. My mail is the 3.7l V6 going in the new CX-9 MAY be the powerplant in the MPS6… It will be coupled to the AWD system that Mazda employs – the mind boggles

I would be very interested if it had the V6, otherwise I don’t think I would bother. A friend of mine test drove the current 2.3l and said it was lacking in Zoom.

WE NEED THE 3.5 in OZ. I currently own the luxury sport hatch, great car it has everything except the ZOOM ZOOM..

The only ZOOM model is the MPS nice but its no hatchback which are the model to have, in my opinion…

C’mon Mazda OZ give us the 3.5 model..

really looking forward to the new 6 however i’m a little confused as i read mazda stated it’s not based on the modeo?

Those complaining about no V6 option… drive the turbo. I had a naturally aspirated lux sport hatch for four years and have replaced it with an MPS. I complained about the lack of a V6 but am more than happy with the turbo, direct injection. It is smoother, quieter and just a wee bit quicker :) A bonus is great traction and impressive torsional rigidity. I just wish the MPS was available from the outset.

I meant to say that even if the Mazda 6 looks like the Camry, the MAZDA would be a much more desired car to drive.

Paul…
can you yank the Toyota chain any god damn harder!?

It’s not a REAL image for a start! so your comment is irelevant…you can comment on similar looks to camry when the REAL car is released.

As Myke says, i’d put my bets on the new 6 driving far better than a camry…

People have a go at the 5th and 6th Generation Camrys because they are plain ugly, and although the image above may be accurate or not (most likely not), it doesn’t look anything like the 5th Gen Camry.

Even if the new Mazda 6 looked like the Camry, it would be a much more desired car to drive.

Paul — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 02:28:05 +0000

Lol people have a go at Camrys because they are Toyota in terms of looks… but this image provided (however accurate or not) looks exactly the same as the previous generation Camry. Double standards!

adam — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 02:07:28 +0000

Yes, agreed. Theres also talk the 4cyl will grow a little along with power figures, poss a 2.5L and then you have the rumoured 6 speed auto;)

I think it will be a great car once its available. I don’t know about the 3.5-litre V6 though, something tells me, Mazda will leave Australia out for that one, afterall, only Americans need more power, we are happy with the 2.3-litre engine… right?

By: Matt

New 6 – about time.

I know we only account for 2% of Mazda’s international sales but can we PLEASE have the 3.5l V6, please. The current 6 is a great car but needs more punch.

Styling is good too, be interesting to see what comes of it.
