Welcome to the totally, completely 100% new
MAZDA6, now in our Motor City and Powers Auto Park
locations!
The highly anticipated 2009 MAZDA6 is the first of Mazda’s “Zoom-Zoom Evolution” second-generation vehicles, building on a heritage of sports sedans and sports cars that no other manufacturer can boast, and bringing a combination of sports sedan, sophistication, build quality and product insight not currently found in the market.
“This is the most important new vehicle Mazda has launched in a decade,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO “Bringing any new car to market at a competitive price has always been critical, but seldom more-so than today. Customers are looking for that rare combination of style, dynamics, economy and a great price, and the all-new 2009 MAZDA6 delivers on all levels.”

Redesign Reflects Customer Feedback
For the unveiling of the all-new, completely redesigned 2009 Mazda6 midsize sports sedan, the folks at Bob Penkhus Mazda Motor City pulled out all the stops. Even if that meant buying rival vehicles to put alongside the second-generation Mazda.
That's right - buying, not borrowing.
"Yeah, it's not something we've done before," said Matt Canales, sales consultant at Bob Penkhus Mazda Motor City, while performing a walkover of the 2009 Mazda6 with a comparably equipped Toyota Camry mere feet away. "We're pretty confident in the Mazda anyway. But when they see them side by side, they'll see the difference.
"We're getting a (Honda) Accord to put on the other size, too."
With more cabin and trunk space, more power and torque, more style, refinement and innovation and, yes, more "zoom-zoom," the 2009 Mazda6 stands alone in the sports-sedan tale of the tape when matched up against the aforementioned Camry and Accord, along with the latest version of the Chevy Malibu and Nissan Altima.
The all-new Mazda6 is the byproduct of years of customer feedback since the birth of the first-generation Mazda6 for the 2003 model year. As much of a groundbreaking innovation the first Mazda6 proved to be, it wasn't left without a few faults.
"There were complaints that the first Mazda6 was too small and underpowered," Canales said. "In research and development, the engineers of the new 6 made it bigger, more powerful and luxurious. They added a lot of nice touches that makes this car much more than just a sports car."
So instead of just tweaking an already solid automobile, Mazda virtually started over with the all-new 6, taking the strides made with the earlier version and integrating state-of-the-art technology and amenities unseen in the midsize category.
I recently got a sneak peak at the all-new Mazda6, courtesy of Bob Penkhus Mazda Motor City, 1101 Motor City Drive. It didn't take long for the Mazda spirit to rub off on me.
Last month, it was the crossover CX-7. This time, the all-new 6 provided all the get-up-and-go, just in a much different looking package. But deep within, the same soul took command: a 3.7-liter, six-cylinder engine matched with an automatic six-speed Sport transmission.
While Mazda is a world leader in four-cylinder engines, the 2009 Mazda6 Grand Touring trim model brought out the entire package with the enhanced power under the hood.
It's the same engine that powers the CX-9, a sevenpassenger sport-utility vehicle that weighs more than 5,000 pounds.
So with that same engine in a car that's 1,500 pounds lighter, imagine the feel of putting the pedal to the metal. Even better in real life. There's something about 272 horsepower and 269 foot-pounds of torque that does that. Even in the four-cylinder model that boasts an MSRP of just $20,250, a more-than-capable 2.5-liter engine cranks out 170 horsepower.
The Grand Touring trim, the top of the three available models, starting with the Sport and Touring, comes in at $28,260, although the tester came in at $30,690. The increase came by way of a moonroof and beefed-up audio with the Bose package, in addition to heated leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and Bluetooth-ready phone and audio system.
Let's just say it's much more than what I drive in regular, day-to-day life, but it's plenty of value for the next generation of Mazda. According to the Mazda6 kickoff press release, an estimated 2 million American consumers purchase a new mid-size vehicle each year, a segment that easily surpasses that of the SUV, crossover, minivan and luxury models.
So, to that end, the all-new Mazda6, with its enhanced features outside and in, is aimed at both maintaining the automaker's loyalists and luring those who long for a vehicle that provides sport and premium quality.
Right off the bat, the Mazda6 impresses. The exterior exudes plenty of appeal, a mixture of adrenaline and chardonnay with its aggressive and distinctive front that tapers into smooth lines and richly curved surfaces. Inside, welcoming leather, a userfriendly steering wheel and an innovative keyless entry and push-button start system get you going.
Then, you don't want to stop.
Along the way, technology takes over in certain situations. Besides an array of comfort and safety features that come standard, such as improved performance and four-wheel, antilock brakes with dynamic stability control, the Grand Touring model steps it up with an ingenuous radar-based blind spot monitoring system that's not even offered by Mazda's competitors.
And let's not forget the roomy interior, either, highlighted by 60/40 split-fold rear seats - standard on every Mazda6 - and a cavernous trunk that swallows the challengers.
Now, it's time to release the all-new, completely redesigned 2009 Mazda6 to Southern Colorado for its expected late-August arrival.
"People are excited to get into it," Canales said. "It's powerful and luxurious."
And able to withstand the competition, too, even at arm's length. The way they see it at Bob Penkhus Mazda, why make customers hopscotch all over Motor City to see the best mid-size models? With the year coming up on a historic decision, here's another one, without the annoying ads. It's a choice of good looks, power, space, style and innovation.
BIGGER.
The MAZDA6 is now bigger in every way including a longer wheelbase, a wider and more stable stance, and more interior room for both driver and passengers.
Whichever engine option you choose, total driving satisfaction comes standard on every 2009 MAZDA6.
Insightful design. Brilliant engineering. Well-considered amenities. Thoughtful safety features. The all-new 2009 MAZDA6 has intelligence covered.
