Good looking. That would make for a nice 6, in my opinion.

Yeah that'll probably be the 6 and I'll have another one once they make is smaller and more sporty like the first gen.

As much as I really like Mazda's new styling direction, I'm afraid it will not translate well into sales - most US buyers love bland cars - witness the other Japanese automakers' sales numbers in this segment (Toyota & Honda). Despite Mazda "traditionally" having the better-looking and more sport-oriented car, I see more rolling appliances sold by the competition on the roads.
Still waiting to see if Mazda will ever build a new performance RWD coupe slotted above the MX-5 - even without a rotary - in the near future.

I read an article about a month ago with the head of Mazda over in Japan saying that they are still very much pursuing a new more powerful and efficient rotary engine. I would look for the new rwd coupe in about 2015.

This would represent a huge improvement over the styling of the existing Mazda 6.

Is it just me or does the rear end looks too much like Hyundai Sonata?
