I also havent seen any Interior pics posted up here yet so here
And yet some more new interesting pics.
The Mazda 6's front double-wishbone suspension uses a long strut-type damper/spring to suspend each wheel individually
A design originally engineered almost two decades ago, the e-type Multi-Link rear suspension uses low-profile double wishbones with a coil spring inside the suspension arm for less protrusion into the trunk area to allow more cargo volume

Looks great! I can't wait for this to arrive in the US. Let's just hope that Ford doesn't get too involved with it like they did with the Tribute. How many recalls did that car have again? Also, keep the quality of the interior materials up, like VW, and it will sell.

Fortunately/Unfortunately,
THe 6 is based of the mondeo the european cousin of the illfated contour. The contour was probably Ford's best car of the nineties (except the stang of course) but had lots of recall problems. The duratech (of which I think the 3.0 is a big brother of) is a great engine very few problems with it, just the accesories like water pump, rotors, and cats. Hopefully going through Mazda will make it a really really good car. I waiting patiently to test one out when it finally makes it back.
