re: What's not to like about the next Mazda 6?

Hope they do make it and it performs as well as it looks - to my mind the current 6 just looks a bit "lumpy", not nearly as pleasant as its predecessor.

Evo_ermine ... they used to be tied up with Ford, and shared a few platforms and engines. But Ford sold basically all of their Mazda shareholding back in 2009ish. So nowadays Mazda is going it alone as an independent.

Just hope it's better than the present one, full of cheap hard plastics and probably the noisiest most unrefiend saloon in its sector.

Don't Mazda already do this with Ford though, Virtualmark? I know the 3 is Focus based and the 2 is Fiesta based. Not sure about the Mondeo/6.

I wish somehow either Volvo or Saab could have got together with Mazda, either via a formal merger or just a technology sharing approach.

Mazda has an excellent flexible platform extending from Mazda 3 to CX-7 sizes. And some pretty interesting engine tech coming down the line too. Perfect overlaps for the Saab & Volvo product ranges.

The Swedes could do their own distinctive styling & interiors on the same platform, and I don't think the companies overly compete directly in the market.

And both Volvo & Saab could benefit from a dose of Mazda's suspension dynamics.

Mazda are on the right track with this car.

Some of their current models and this are desirable looking vehicles which is more than can be said for most of the other Japanese manufacturers currently.

"Yeh, DBS" 289

You can see how my mind was working - the early DBS was the precursor to the DB6, appearing without much change; I had the DB5 and, erroneously, 6 in my head. Over such slips are Internet lynchings begun!

Yeh, DBS in Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Why cant you edit on these blogs....you are right L.A. annoying!

Aside from the nose treatment, which I still think is a little heavy, this is a cracking looking car. What's better is beauty is more than skin deep and the Skyactive tech beneath could make this a seriously desirable car.

"At the risk of being pedant of the day L.A. it was a DB5!!" 289

Hi 289

You're right - saw the typo but you can't edit these silly boxes.

Did an early DBS appear in the Lazenby laden Her Majesty's Secret Service - and also when Seanorry (his family nickname) made an entrance wearing a jet pack ascending as if from the heavens at the start of Thunderball? I'm also pretty sure you can see it in the background of Q's workshop in Diamonds Are Forever.

I am confident that somewhere or other there is a survey by the Italian car industry that has found that 73% of women would prefer the chap with the Ferrari and 27% would go for the one who supports charities.

@EVO

"Seeing a Valentine's card on the door mat and finding out it was from my own mother didn't help..."

....that is seriously sad EVO, you have to stop her doing this!

@ Los Angeles

"hence Connery in a DB6."

.....5, at the risk of being pedant of the day L.A. it was a DB5!!

Who gives a stuff if a woman doesnt like your F40....its for your enjoyment not hers. Bet she will be glad enough to take half of it when she divorces you...then she will suddenly like it when she sees what its worth!!!

@matsoc: "I don't like going out in these evenings, I'd rather prefer going out with her every other time!"

Funnily enough I'm always telling my wife that she need not worry about Valentines Day, since every day with me is like Valentines Day. Fortunately she thinks it's all a load of crap too.

I don't like going out in these evenings, I'd rather prefer going out with her every other time! We are going to NYC from Thursday to Monday, I love it and she is never been but I think I won't follow her in every shop...

Back to the blog...well it's a quite obvious result...it's all about the question is asked..."Do you like a man that support charity?" How can you say no? And the question "Do you like a man who has a Ferrari" 1 out of 3 is a considerable amount but believable...
