i dont think it will be the case..the mazda 6 is just too boy racer thats why no self-respecting executive will buy it..theyll go for the more luxurious camry and accord.besides buyers of midsize luxury sedand usually have their drivers..which offsets the handling advantege of the 6..

in the case of the outlander..it is versatile..you can stick to normal driving or have some fun if your on the mood..its a cuv like any other out i the market..just better looking and more fun.
