Pics leaked ahead of schedule. The front's OK, the taillights...looks like the crappy Sebring Sedan.

Discuss...

VROOOM · 09-06-2007, 09:57 AM

looks good from the front, but im not sure about the back.

*exitspeed* · 09-06-2007, 10:00 AM

Yea it looks too hatch-ish (which I believe the second pic is) doesn't it? Not enough sports-sedan-ish-ish-ish.

the silver one is a hatch. they offered one on the previous generation too.

i like it. if i was in the market for a fwd sedan it would be pretty high up there. i think a non mazdaspeed6 version of the turbo direct injection engine (like in the CX7) and fwd would be a cool combo. probably better mileage than a similarly powered v6. it doesn't drive like a turbo 4.

*ManoNegra* · 09-06-2007, 10:28 AM

Looks good but then again a lot of new cars today have that 'look'.

tacotacotaco · 09-06-2007, 10:33 AM

Ok im not familiar with mazda ready. The speed version is turbo awd correct?

Correct. There won't be a MS version right away.

OptionZero · 09-06-2007, 10:50 AM

Negative. Original was cool, newer one looks like too much like newer Ford/Volvo styling.

P4rD0nM3 · 09-06-2007, 11:30 AM

Looks like a mommy's car from the back and a yappie's car up front.

Daniel. · 09-06-2007, 11:38 AM

looks better than the new accord.

Yea, and unfortunately that aint' sayin much. I'm extremely disappointed in Honda and the new Accord.

It doesn't look like the 6 has increased much in size, which is a good thing.

It looks amazing from this angle

That's the direction I want to see everyone going in.

very sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

wootwoot · 09-06-2007, 01:10 PM

If they made it rwd I would have sex with it

*exitspeed* · 09-06-2007, 01:13 PM

I don't see Madza with a inexpensive RWD sedan. I do however see them with perhaps coming out with a Mazda 9 that could be RWD. That would be interesting. I don't know what platform it would be on though. None of Fords platforms would work.

LigouriRd · 09-06-2007, 01:57 PM

Looks nice, I just hope they have fixed it software and electronics-wise, the throttle lag on the current generation (except the speed6) is hell.

thatdrifterguy · 09-06-2007, 01:56 PM

lol. it looks like a lexus

Reminds me of an IS250. Its a decent looking car.

smellslikecurry · 09-06-2007, 02:04 PM

looks kinda like the g37 and the is350 and the new wrxs

its ugly

whatever happened to classic styling...progression in the looks department is lacking...

SexPanda · 09-06-2007, 02:50 PM

hmmm... interesting... I dont like it. lol

atom · 09-06-2007, 04:05 PM

It looks kind of schweet. A little more grown up. The current 6 looks kind of boy racerish.

bamaboy · 09-06-2007, 04:21 PM

reminds me of what I left in the porcelain this morning after getting fit shaced drunk last night and eating mexican food.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 09-06-2007, 04:36 PM

looks like a stretched out mazda3. i dunno. it fits in with their zoom-zoom marketing image. problem is, like all the current mazdas, it's a zoom-zoom IMAGE exclusively. they best be putting in a 260+hp v6 with a 6-speed, or honda and toyota will continue to kill them.

wagon looks cool!!

WilloW · 09-06-2007, 05:02 PM

Doesn't look too bad, but then it looks like they just hacked up the old pile and jazz it up a bit. The rear looks like they took the old tail lights, and while trying to improve it fucked up horribly (not that the original shit looks any better) in an attempt to make it look like an IS just like ^^ they said.
