The 09 Mazda 6 is definately not a Speed 6 replacement. I love the new 6, but definately not aimed at the same buyer as the Speed.
Didn't ya test drive it first?
Yup. The I4 is peppy enough if you row-your-own. The V6 is way overpriced considering it doesn't have a clutch
Anyhoo . . . "me too" on the just got one topic . . .
So, is this the *REAL* forum, or what? I found another one that looked pretty popular but it's dead over there. I had a bunch of questions (after reading the manual) but it didn't seem anyone was much around the other place.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get mine without that awkward half-thought-out stereo (Bose). Ordered the Workshop and Wiring Diagram (love how they call the ETM a "diagram" . . . hope it's not one run-on diagram
).Otherwise, I'm loving the new car. She's a pretty lady dressed in red

I would agree, however (imo) the stock 18's are pretty nice! A guy I met just bought an 09 speed3 and said he would be interested in buying mine.

It wouldn't surprize me if Mazda came out with a speed6 in 2011. They don't need it right now as the 6 is even or better with the competition.
Just purchase a M6 S GT. Bose and moonroof. The engine is really outstanding for the cost and when considering all the technology that the cars has there is no competition if you want to haul a family of 4 and still have a sporty feel with a lot of bells and whistles. Traded in a VW passat 2002 V6 and test drove the following (all V6's and 2009's): Camry, Lincoln MKS(because it has the same engine as the M6 S). Maxima SV, Acura TL. Loved the Maxima but there was an $8K delta is cost. The MKS was surprisingly sporty if I was 5 years older (I am 50) I would have purchased. One of my kids will get the S GT in about 4 years. The TL did nothing for me, above average for many things but nothing to grab me to justify the purchase (although quality history was a strong consideration). I refused to look at Chrysler or GM-I am already paying taxes to support them so why give them more $. Anyway, politics aside the S GT is very enjoyable. FYI, including trade-in out the door $24K (incl, tax, tag, etc)!!! That is value.
