they are thier own worse enemy- how do they expect to sell someone a new mazda who has one right now if they dont change the styling?
they should just call them small, medium, and large mazda.
oh wait- they do Mazda 2, Mazda 3, Mazda 6

I own one too, and I still think its about time for them to kick the next styling into gear.
Blasphemy! I am waiting for Mazda to return to the pinnacle of styling that they attained in 1989!

Doesn't BMW do the same thing, except with a few mediums in there? Their style changes have gone from "dastardly brittish" to "fat-***", and they still sell like yummy hotcakes.
people will buy a BMW based on its status, when thier lease runs out they either upgrade or go to another brand.
Mazda does not exactly conjure up any status, so when a regular guy is going to get rid of his car, he will look to something else.
I have a 2003 Mazda 6, where do I go from here in the Mazda line come august?
Get that hideous SUV thing?

Now that I look at it, it looks a lot like a Peugeot 206 rally car.
As for brand style, it works for BMW, Audi and Mercedes. I don't think there's anything wrong with Mazda doing it.
If you need an upgrade for your 6, go for the Lincoln version of it.
