Just got one and I love the car. I'm not going to compare my Vibe to it since they are completely different, but I really like the car. If anyone cares, I'll give a personal review.

I saw a review of it on
http://www.canadiandriver.com and thought it looked really sharp. What colour did you get?

It has two engines.You're right on the first one - Mazda6 s 3.0 L dohc, 24 valve, V6the other is the Mazda6 i - 2.3 L, dohc, 15valve, 4 banger.If it had been available last summer, I might have considered it over my Vibe.

We have to V6 version and it is Lapis Blue Metallic. It puts out 220hp with VVTL and is really smooth. I'm so used to my GT screaming that it seems a little tame at times. We just received the Ford discount so that was a really nice discount.

Blue is my favorite color especially if it's not plain navy blue. I hope to add a blue RX-8 in the near future if things turn out good at work

Post some pics, give us more info! I saw one at the NAIAS this past weekend. I only got one pic of it. I will post it below.Did you replace a vehicle with this, or was it an additional vehicle?I got a good look at one at the show and really like the way they look. Gotta love that power! Is this the color??

Sputnik I must say I'm jealous... I'm over here ready to cheat on my Vibe with the Mazda6... I love those sexy lights, is it as nice of a car as it seems?

It will be available in a wagon also….Europe will have an AWD version. It would be nice to have the 220 hp, six speed, wagon and AWD, only time will tell.

I will try to get some pics. Unfortunately due to the snow, the car is looking a little salty right now.

I like the 6 but I think the RX8 looks funny. I loved the last RX7.

The 6 is sweet! The thing that I heard about the 8 was that they were bringing back the rotary engine in it. That would be very cool! I may be a player for one of those. It depends on the room it has. I love the rrom in my Vibe.

Very nice! That color is great! I think the only color I've seen it in before is black, well the show cars in yellow too, but I love the blue!

That red does look nice! Honestly, I think the Mazda 6 is one of those cars that looks good in any color.

Great pics. Could you post your personal review, as suggested? I'm sure many would be interested in it (myself included).

One of the cars I was looking at when I looked at the vibe. Of them all, the Vibe won.

Very nice looking car. I have liked those ever since they came out. I don't like it quite as much as my Vibe though. Congrats!

Mazda 6.....Nice car. Wish it was out when I was looking for a new car. Would have like to compare it. Still like my Vibe GT though.!
