The rear looks good minus the tailpipes. But I think I like the front of the old one better. I'd consider this along w/ the Accord and Sonata. Depends on the quality of the interior.

love the new design, but the powertrains and weight leave a lot to be desired (mpg wise)

When was that? Remember the 70's and 80's? Those were barges compared to today.
I always thought the current 6 was too small to be considered a mid-sized car. It's hard to really tell much from these pictures but the new 6 seems to look the part now.

I always like the 6, and I like the new one even better.
Too bad Mazda insists on a watermelon-sized fenderwell gap.
Is that the Z71 off road package? Holy crap.
Drop it, stuff 20s on it, done!

I understand the need to make the front look like an RX-8 but those fenders make the ones on the S-Class look like Calista Flockhart

Looks pretty, actually checked out myself in the dealership the other. Looks better than the Altima if you ask me.

Oh Noooo! Not the ES for old ladies.
The 6 looks way better than that.

In the heading of Road and Track where they test the Mazda 6 briefly, they call it a poor mans Lexus and reference Lexus at least 2 times.
