All-new 2013 Mazda 6 with SKYACTIV-G now in the Philippines

Are you kidding me? Last thing I want is the government to lower the taxes and make cars more affordable. Travelling EDSA would be a literal hell when you imagine twice the amount of private vehicles plying the road. In any case, we're in the "middle" scenario. Just take comfort on the fact that buying an Altis in Singapore would give you a Porsche Boxster equivalent in the United States :naughty2:

I guess you dont know that private vehicles are not the ones causing problems in Edsa. :D

The Mazda 6 is gonna be one of those cars that everyone's gonna pine about, then completely forget to buy when purchasing time comes.

Poor Mazda.

They are having second thoughts with regards to its durability and maintenance wise in the long run perhaps.

Maintenance is answered by Yojin, for the entire warranty period. Durability...well tell me, has there been any major flaw with any of the Mazda models released since its resurgence in the country beginning with the Mazda3 in the early 2000's? On the other hand, Toyota had its D4D brouhaha and Hyundai's knocking knocked everyone out, but they still remain the top 2 car brands in the country.

Mazda has prepared well for this 6. But sadly, I'm pretty damn sure that car won't sell anywhere near half the volume of other midsizers.

“Frankly, some consumers say, ‘I don’t like this grille.’ But with the Mazda brand it doesn’t necessarily have to be the case that 10 out of 10 people all like the design. If two out of 10 people say ‘I really love this,’ then that’s fine by us. Mazda has that kind of unique personality when it comes to design,” said Mr. Kanai (Mazda EVP) in a recent interview with JRT.

The Mazda grill styling is great on the 6 but it is ugly on the CX5

You're one of the 80%

Initially I hated it. It grew on me though. The Rexton however....
