I find without the spoiler and skirts it looks like a corolla or something though, bland. Kitted up it looks nice.

I think the 6 is a good looking car and seems to be a pretty good bang for your buck car but I would also rather buy a competitive Acura/Honda product like the TSX.

I agree with Steve on this one. This car has the "luxury" feeling of a 8 year old accord. The current camry/accord/TSX are all FAR better vehicles compared to the 6. Maybe I just had a bad test drive in the 6, but I came away liking it less than even a ford taurus.

I think the car is a pretty good looking vehicle for the price range. 220hp isn't exactly shabby... and i'm sure there is potential for the V6. No one has really touched on the new mazda speed 6 coming out...... correct me if i'm wrong but its AWD, 2.4l Turbo, 270hp....... How can you not like that.

I think the 6 is a much better car that people give it credit for. I have had the 4 banger as a rental, and the V-6 as a rental. I thought both were excellent cars. (the 4 banger was kinda slow though) WAY better than the usual camrys i rent. Distinctive styling v. the crappy styling of both the accord and the camry.. and the interior was nicer than both the accord and the camry..(those two really suck) If i were in the market for a 4 door, i would definitely consider it.. Can't wait to see how the MS6 does..

i think they are good looking cars, even for the wagon i haven't driven one though
'05 V6 comes with 6 sp auto
but i rather it has 6 sp manual + LSD instead
and the one-piece console is not quite aftermarket stereo friendly
