I got all my paperwork done yesterday. Yes im getting the Hatchback model, not the regular 4 door with the slim spoiler. Basically the same exact car you guys see in the first post with the red car. Its a Sport model loaded with all the goodies. Im getting it in a metallic black color with almost like a frost gray leather interior.

The dealer is basically getting the PDI done on the car and it should be ready tomorrow morning. I got the registration and plates insurance everything taken care of.

Cant wait to show you guys how gorgeous the car is .

Lets hope I get it tomorrow.

I have owned four mx-5's in the past. I love and have a thing for mazda's in general. I was very tempted to pick up a new PRHT mx-5 but at this time its not the most practical car for me. I really need a daily driver thats practical yet fun to drive and this fit the bill for me. Next time around Ill definitely be getting either an RX-8 or a new Miata.

I love your car I saw the pictures when you bought it .

I really like the looks of this new Mazda 6. My mon has the outgoing model which is no slouch but the new one really seems like a big improvement........in more than just looks. I'd drive one....without any reservation. Lot's of cars are catching up and are much cheaper. This new 6 seems to be one of them.

Seen both the US version at home and the Euro version here in Taiwan; both look SWEET! Would definitely be my choice instead of Accord/Camry
