The new Kodo styling looks terrific on the next-generation Mazda6 with Skyactiv technology, i-ELOOP technology and a pretty rad new look! What do you guys think?

The toughest gig in town? If you're a mainstream automaker, it's the midsize sedan segment, now the absolute heartland of the American new car market. Last year's Motor Trend Car of the Year set benchmarks for ride, handling, interior package, and powertrain in the segment. The Camry sales juggernaut just keeps on rolling, a testament to Toyota's massive marketing muscle and consumer inertia, and the Hyundai Sonata has everyone worried about the growing reach of the Koreans. And just to make things even more interesting, in the past few months alone, Chevy launched a new Malibu, Honda a new Accord, Nissan a new Altima, and Ford a new Fusion. If you're thinking of crashing this party, you'd better bring your A-game.



Enter the 2014 Mazda6.

Mazda is a car company in transition. For more than 30 years, it operated in partnership with Ford Motor Company, which at one time owned a third of the Hiroshima-based automaker. Ford's involvement was a blessing and a curse: It gave relatively small Mazda a big brother it could lean on for everything from R&D to vehicle architectures to manufacturing plants, though it also meant Mazda had to conform to Dearborn's view of the automotive universe. No longer. Since 2010, Mazda has been free to pursue its own destiny. But as a company that last year sold about 1.3 million vehicles worldwide, that freedom has necessarily been tempered by the need to watch the pennies. Put simply, Mazda can't afford to screw up.



Yep, there's a lot riding on the all-new Mazda6. This is perhaps the single most important new vehicle Mazda will launch this side of the next-gen Miata, the company's touchstone car. The good news is that, at first blush, Mazda looks to have got a lot right with the new 6. In terms of the current crop of mid-size sedans swarming like frenzied piranha around the American consumer, it looks to be an A-game car.

The new Mazda6 is the second car designed from the wheels up to make the most of Mazda's Skyactiv suite of fuel-saving technologies. It shares engines, transmissions, and even some structural elements - the front and rear subframes, for example - with the CX5, which was the first completely new Mazda the company launched since the 1967 Cosmo Sport. Among the changes made to CX5-shared hardware are a revised front strut layout to improve steering smoothness, revised brake booster characteristics for better initial pedal feel, and a reprofiled steering knuckle neck to reduce road noise.
