The Mazda6 is Mazda’s sporty midsize sedan that was redesigned for 2009. Built specifically for the North American market, the bold design incorporates design cues from the CX-7 including the aggressive front fender lines and the fast roofline. The 2009 Mazda6 is larger than its predecessor with a 4.5-inch longer wheelbase, wider front and rear tracks, 2.3-inch increase in width and a total gain of 6.1 inches in overall length. Inside the Mazda6 is larger in all significant dimensions and the trunk volume increases by 10 percent. The Mazda6 replaced both the 626 and the Millenia in the Mazda lineup for 2003. The 626 first arrived in 1979 and in 1988 it became one of the first Japanese-brand cars to be built in the U.S.
