Which makes perfect sense, seeing as the 08-12 Mazda6 was a US specific, US made model.

Why? I paid £25000 for my KIA OPTIMA 3 last year and I am more than happy with my car. I intend to keep it till the end of the 7 year warranty and took a 5 year service plan so for me I get all the luxury, a very good and comfy car.
