Coming to the United States late next year as a 2003 model, the 6 is out to deliver the "Zoom-Zoom" that Mazda has been promising in its advertising. Contrary to reports, a wagon and a 5-door hatchback version will indeed follow the sedan to the United States at later dates, confirmed Charlie Hughes, president and CEO of Mazda North America, in a telephone interview.

The only news that could make this any better is if they say there will be a MPS version. I want 240 hp and a fully tweeked suspension. On my hatchback, Thanks Mazda!

I KNOW WHAT MY NEXT CAR WILL BE!!!! YE-HA!!!

Oh Happy Day!

Heck yeah...if there's a high-powered version of this, look out! Just slap an RX-7 rotary in there, and you're in business!

Now thats a car I would give up my Focus for, that color is great, but as usuall the US will probably not get the good one.

**ZX3er** · 11-03-2001, 09:03 AM

great news, what a cool car, only new Altima and Mondeo along with this "6" can make it very interesting here.
Is war under $20K about to start?

**focalBlur** · 11-03-2001, 02:45 PM

is that pic the 5door hatch?
or the sedan, looks like a hatch to me but they might be calling it a sedan

if so thats sweet

**Pzevinside** · 11-03-2001, 03:06 PM

Not bad looking at all. Don't really care for those rear taillights though.

Ed · 11-04-2001, 04:33 AM

THANK YOU MAZDA!!! Looks like they finally get it!! I'm tellin you, as a former ZX3 owner and a current Jetta 1.8T Wagon owner, hatches are the WAY TO GO!!

Besides, I think the Mazda 6 hatchback is truly the looker of the 6 family. It's definitely the sportiest, that's for sure.

**Dev** · 11-04-2001, 04:40 AM

Are we getting the wagon?

**Krmnnghia** · 11-04-2001, 09:20 AM

Great loking car...except for that whole rear wiper thing. Looks as if it is drilled into the trunk/hatch lid. That sucks if you want to remove it. I must say though Mazda is really coming out with some cool cars. They have always been pretty crappy but just in the past few years...Now just bring us a few more MP3's and we are all set!
