SPY PHOTOS: STUD OR DUD? New Mazda 6 Caught On The Streets Of Irvine

STUD!!!!

DUD. Looks better distorted, as shown RIGHT NOW in picture #1 for this story on the autospies homepage.

front brake rotors look undersized for the wheels. porsche reflection looks good. :)

Fred's been Spied himself!

LOL!

i got some more photos of this car, check it out on my agentspace.

Maybe I am biased being a CX-9 owner, MAZDA's designs really appeal to me. The rotor looks small because the wheels are at least 17" (maybe even 18"). Mazda are very aggressive in term of offering large alloy wheels. Imagine that CX-9 has 20" wheel standard on GT model. I won't be surprised that the upper end model of the 6 has 18" wheel standard.

STUD. nice all around, and a segment leader. top of my list.

STUD. More cool than Camry and Accord.

I like this look, especially the rear end. Something about it I find attractive.

I bet that guy is wondering why there's people in a porsche taking pictures of a Mazda.

I agree, the front wheel arches are a bit exaggerated given the short nose of the vehicle. Mazda has come a long way with their designs, this is in the right direction. The rear is not so unique although still sporty. Not sure if I like the front inserts, they seem to detract fromt he headlights.

is the v6 available with a stick? and it would be nice if the wagon was available here.

That's looks like he's driving in the Irvine Spectrum near my real estate office and Irvine BMW.

:-/

That last picture looks like its right outside of Mazda's North American headquarters off Alton.

That's less than 2 miles from my office and Irvine BMW.

It's the Ford Motor Company headquaters.

thats where cars and coffee meets every saturday morning 7-9.

"That's looks like he's driving in the Irvine Spectrum near my real estate office and Irvine BMW."

You are, like, SO COOL!!!!

STUDLY!

I believe this vehicle shares the same platform with the lincoln MKX and Ford Edge. I dove an MKX the other day. great Ride! Great Vehicle. the Dash and instrument cluster is perfct. And Micrsoft Synch makes it even better.

If you are looking for an upscale version of the Mazda 6, test drive an MKS.

Stud!

I didnt think this thing was on sale yet. Stud.

THEY TOOK DISIGN FROM LEXUS LS460,JUST TAKE A LOOK THE TAIL PIPE OR I'M WRONG?

any comment?

It is not LS on the rear. The LS looks like Civic hatch. New Mazda6 has style, but LS...?
The driving experience is great for new Mazda6.
The brake disc seems smal, but I haven't problem with the braking at testdrive.

Did this fool really say "s class like wheel arches"?? Get it right; benz jacked those arches right from the RX-8. As in, MAZDA RX-8. This design feature has simply trickled down to other Mazdas. And, I might add, flows much better on them than they do on any m-b.

Let's just forget about the 1998 Ford Focus then....

I'm hoping for another Mazadaspeed 6; based on how the last one sold, I'm not certain if that will be a reality. With that said, the new 6 looks great. Congrats to Mazda!. Now, lets put a bit more effort into that RX-8 ;)

There isnt one single circumstance known to man that would cause me to drive a camcord over this. They could give me one for every day of the week, with free gas, and I'd still say hell no, and head right down to the Mazda dealer.

Very elegant, very modern, very sporty, very cohesive... STUD! Best design in its class.

Rear end=Stud

Perhaps it's the quality of the photos (taken through a window), but the car looks really bloated. The rear end looks bland (I like the taillight treatment on the euro version more).

Just another piece of junk that nobody will care about in two years.

This American version/speced is little different from what we get here in Middle East.
Front bumper is different, Complete rear end is different, roofline is different...etc

I think our Mazda 6 looks better.

STUD

JUGNU

I agree. Our Mazda 6 looks much better. But we dont have a V6 available...

Stud though.

do you have a picture of your version?

but our version comes with see through rear lights.

mmm, rear end looks subtle.

They made it larger for the NA market.

Yes... also we dont get the V6 version.

Lexus LS exhausts, which the Civic hatchback copied (though in those they are triangle)

Looks better than any BMW..

They were probably afraid to get stuck with a Las Vegas driver.

Stud.

wish it had a wankel... but I do like the lexus style exaust

lexus style? i only went back to 1965.

The integrated exhausts were also on the first-gen BMW X5 (and they still are), Audi A8L W12,

it looks like the exhaust on the LS460 thats all i was saying...not that Lexus created integrated exhaust

STUD
Definitively look more upscale than Accord and Camry. I'd like to see interior pics before final judgement.
I like Mazda in general, good designs, fun cars to drive.

In my opinion, it's a nice design, but just that. Not bad, but hot enough to declare it a stud.

Dud!

Definitely a STUD!!!! I like the front fender styling a la RX-7. Looks like that could become Mazda's design signature...

I meant RX-8. What was I thinking??! :s

I like Mazda but this car's front half looks like an S-Class and the rear end looks like a Lexus.

Mazda sent me an exclusive magazine for this 6 cuz i lease a CX-7 - i threw the magazine out - trying way too hard w/ the styling. Some cars r just embarrassing to drive around in - like a Ford Fusion I used last week from Hrtz - way 2 many design things going on...I wanted to get 5% tints for the duration.

Stud

Wheel arches are all RX-8 not S-Class.

It is ok. reminds me of a Ford Taurus. Just another Front drive Jelley-Bean shape car. Isn't time we get a new shape for cars?

Whats with the dull silver plastic bezels on the driving lights. They couldn't spare the chrome? Satin Chrome might be an even better idea. Similar to the satin Chrome wheels on the new Ford Explorer. This would look better on the bezels.

That cheap silver plastic looks like the plastic found on a shampoo bottle.

How much do they want for this car anyways?
