With a tagline like "Zoom Zoom", Mazda has given itself the mandate that every one of its vehicles must be fun to drive. While that standard is more easily met with dedicated sports cars like the RX-8 and MX-5, infusing the essence of Mazda’s marketing pitch into CUVs, economy cars and family sedans is easier advertised than done. Mazda runs the risk of damaging its message if each iteration of the CX-7, CX-9, Mazda3, Mazda5 and Mazda6 doesn’t measure up.
And so the 2009 Mazda6 arrives with a new design, more room and more power as the brand’s all-new offering in the hotly contested mid-size sedan segment. Being a Mazda, the new 6 will be compared just as much to the sedan it replaces as to competitors from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford and Chevrolet. The prior version was the driver’s choice among this field of vanilla four-doors, and the 2009 model must scream Mazda’s mantra just as loudly while appealing to more customers. Does it accomplish this without diluting the company’s "Zoom Zoom" message? Follow the jump to find out.
