I work wit hertz rental car and we just got sum new 6's. Only the I's so far no v6's yet. They look a lot better in person. Really roomy and decent power. Now they can finally compete with our altimas,camry's,sonata's and accords. I think mazda came a long way since the milly with this car. Hope it does good as the 1's I listed.

Frankly speaking, I couldnt see any point to go fwd in a 250+hp sedan. They first put a hella strong engine and then limit the torque by any means to keep it on the road. Then what is the point?? First MS3 which is the nominee to be the strongest fwd car then 6.

I dont see why they cant use the same 4wd system in the previous MS6 into the new 6. I have seen 3 in person and they are really nice, nicer than I thought, now I just hope they come out with a new MS6.

The ms6 is suppose 2 come out next year. It claims to blow any car in it's segment off tha road. Wonder what nissan is gonna do with se-r altima when it comes out? Also the 6 mite come out with a 4 wheel drive 6 later on when they refresh the car in a couple years. Anybody also heard about the performance version of the camry???

I like the new 6, the fully loaded one, HIDs, big stock rims, leather, push button start, led taillamps, etc, the steering was more tight but I still like the ride better in my millenia....the HIDs were nice tho...

I went for a test drive last month... its a pretty cool car. Has nice features.
The one I tried was a fully equipped V6 6speed automatic, except no GPS.

Some of the nicest feature are:
height adjustable HIDs, blind spot reminder, 272hp and 270lbs of torque (yes I went WOT on the highway and its nice!)
Radio has voice recognition. Start button uses a remote that can stay in your pockets. Vehicle also self unlocks upon touching the handle. There is a feature where the vehicle recognizes which FOB is approaching the car and it automatically sets the seating position to that FOB. Very spacious in the back...

Although the car was pretty nice, this car is focused towards 50-55yrs old peoples. Interior still looks too plastic to me and not luxurious enough.

I decided to keep my 2002 Millenia S!

Yes the new Mazda 6 is a whole lot better than the previous model but it still is missing key aspects to make it a millenia replacement.

I think Mazda needs to bring the Millenia back for luxury goers , Make the Mazda 6 the sporty sedan , come out with a 2 door coup version A.K.A. the MX-6 , come out with a full sized car to compete with the Avalon , (hint hint Mazda 9)

So that way they have all their bases covered
