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.
You bastard, you beat me to it. I was going to say it looks like something peugeot would make.

Lincolns are so ******* ugly its like a joke now, I mean have you seen the Navigator lately?
I like the mazda styling, but its time for a change, the car here is an 08, maybe they should start thinking about 09, then it would be only be like 7-8 years with this current styling?

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?
Mazdaspeed6?

Its a good look for it's class, i dunno how well that class will do long term, we shall see. americans don't usually warm up to smaller cars after the gas crunch passes.
It is about time for a new style i must admit, the new SUV is absolutely tragic.

I need more then that to get me to buy another one, maybe if they practically give it to me I would get it.
I cant see having whats basically the SAME car again.
But I think I want a small SUV as a daily beater next.
The wife thinks the 1989 TII was going to be my daily- I just told her that because I did
not want to hear her complain

I like the current styling, but I do think they should rethink their lineup. I mean, it's nice have a mid-size or small sedan that has nice handling and adequate power, but how about something more specific.
For instance, have a larger sedan with some nice luxury ammenities and some oomph under the hood; and have a 2-seater sports car above the miata (like where an FD would fit in the lineup).
