Dont know how i landed on this page. I was just doing some home work on RX8 and ended up on CARWALE

Check out the site

There are a handful of RX-8s in India. Mostly in Bombay & B'lore. No Mazda 6's yet.

I agree Mazda 6 is a nice car, but I fail to understand why its not selling. There are simply not enough Mazda 6 seen on roads in the US. That segment is dominated by Camry, Accord and Altima in that order.

Any particular reason why the 6 isnt selling?

[Nitin]

I think it depends a lot on which region of the US we'r looking at. Surprisingly, I've begun to see a whole lot more 6's here in Houston, and friends in Sacramento CA & Atlanta have been saying the same thing. There are those few cities where the sales might not be good, but over all I believe Mazda does sell more of the 3's than the 6's.

One major thing is pricing - 3 is priced very well but 6 is near to Honda Toyota pricing.
Perception plays a part too. 3 is made in Japan while 6 is assembled in US. It shares a lot of parts with Ford Fusion and is not considered as reliable as the other Japanese counterparts.
That said, there are a lot of 6s here in Toronto.

I bought a 2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring last week (Its a complete redesign from last generation). At $33600 MSRP (Includes $2000 tech package with iloop regenrative braking) + $4000 on accessories, it beats the mid-size segment hollow. Key differentiators from a top-end Accord are:
1. Mazda Radar Cruise Control (or, Adaptive Cruise Control as you may call it). You can even set the distance that you can keep with the vehicle in front of you
2. Lane Departure Warning System (Not camera based as seen on accord). This one beeps and displays image on dashboard console
3. Tom tom navigation system (Touchscreen but slow UI)
4. Blind spot assist - The rear view mirrors have a yellow icon that turns on when there is car on your blind spot. It also gives a beep if you want to take turns. It is better than accord's camera based system since this being radar based, is accurate when you are passing a truck and you always have the safe distance to change lanes
4. Rear view mirrors dimming control (Including centre rear view mirrors) using a LCD panel in the back
5. Adaptive headlights that turn with steering.
6. Bose audio (Even Nissan offers one)
7. Premium leather interiors and very ergonomic and driver oriented
8. Paddle shifters (compared to Accord) and meaty 19" low profile (45) tyres
9. iLOOP regenerative braking to relieve the alternator (that saps power) and use a capacitor to shore electricity. On start stop conditions, this relieves the alternator from being coupled, so more usable engine power while starting.
10. Fuel economy: I got 35mpg at 70mph on I-5 Highway. Its undoubtedbly the most fuel efficient non hybrid midsizer

Bad things:
1. Car rattles like any Japanese car (under heavy bass)
2. Starting from stop, the car feels laggy (not the low end torque), but has to do something with hill hold lock release

The stunning NEW Mazda 6:

MAZDA'S 6TH GENERATION, FULL MODEL CHANGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS.

Mazda's 6th model will include the SKYACTIV-X 3.0-liter in-line 6-cylinder gasoline turbo + 48V mild hybrid, and the SKYACTIV-D 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder diesel turbo + 48V mild hybrid, as well as the first plug-in hybrid and other models specialized in electrification.

The exterior design is based on the Concept Vision Coupe and transformed into a silhouette full of high-soker

elements. The bulge and sideline of the tire house are expected to have a three-dimensional, glamorous and beautiful design with a surface composition. In addition, the front will be a thin and sharp grill design that will become mazda's trend in the future. The unders are likely to be equipped with Mazda's characteristic Ha-shaped difuser and an under grille with a design to match.
Mazda's sixth-generation debut is expected to be in the first half of 2022.

I know this is an old thread thought i would bump it up. Sedans are a dying breed all around the world. The present Mazda 6 has been around since 2012 , however its still is a fantastic looking car, especially here in the middle east its cheaper than its competitors i.e accord and camry and come with more features. this is my new car in deep crystal blue
