I dunno, looks a little porky to me, been looking to hard at Toyota's maybe.
What do you think?
Spy photographers caught the redesigned Mazda 6 running on a secluded side street, within spitting distance of Ford's Detroit engineering operations. This is the most complete, most revealing Mazda6 prototype spotted to date.
This new 6 appears larger than the current model, confirming earlier sightings of cobbled-up test mules which hinted at added length and width for the second-generation model.
The styling of the new 6 is fuller, and more voluptuous than today's model, with a rounded greenhouse flowing into a sloping backlight and a rather short rear deck. The hood sweeps up from a still recognizable Mazda grille, and is flanked by prominent front fenders that mimic everything from Mazda's RX-8, to the MX-5, up to the CX-9. When the camouflage comes off, the new 6 should look right at home in the Mazda family.
The headlights and tail-lights are quite visible on this prototype, and look very promising, indeed. The current Mazda6 was a successful model on many levels, which may have saved both Mazda, and its parent Ford, which uses it's platform extensively in its revamped lineup. The new model pictured here looks poised to continue that momentum for some time to come.
