First Drive: 2014 Mazda6

You were asking for the 3.7 liter V6 Cyclone engine then.
I guess the contract between Mazda and Ford for that engine has expired (if there's any indication)
---------------------------
Anyways, this Mazda 6 can be related to the sporty underdog.
Very dynamic and inspiring not just in looks and the feel but also in the drive.
The sad thing though is that most buyers in this segment purchase on familiarity and practicality. Anything that is strictly based on sporty driving and dynamism is not in the target market's criteria.......and this is why the previous-gen Mazda 6 sold quite few numbers (despite having superb and dynamic styling in this segment).
Then again, Mazda was never about sales dominance but more of creating cars that are dynamic and inspiring.
With that said, I really want Mazda to live on and continue producing these kinds of vehicles. I guess others out there feel the same way.
Go Mazda

Actually, the 2003 Mazda6 sold really nice. the second generation fell flat in the face due to the bloated size, and questionable styling.
This 3rd generation looks like it will get back Mazda6 in it's comfort zone.
will it beat toyota/honda. probably not.

And yeah it won't beat Toyota/Honda/Nissan/Kia/Hyundai/Ford/VW in numbers but it is an excellent package with the lowest weight in class. If Mazda continues this trend, they might bob above the radar. I'm rooting for them

I am not impressed with the actual car now that I see rear world pics.
they should not have touched the concept! This car is equivalent in design to the nissan altima.
Hyundai sonata, kia optima, ford fusion and chevy malibu so far lead the top 4 spots in the mid sized category IMO.
