Is it just me, or is the Subaru Legacy the only midsize Japanese car that isn't getting completely bloated these days?

While the Mazda6 as it currently is looks good and has a decent chassis, the engine is a joke, as several have pointed out. I don't see how this larger version with a 3.5L fits the "zoom-zoom" philosophy or (if they continue it in the future) their anti-Accord/Camry campaign. Maybe they are taking a "if you can't beat them, join them" approach with regard to Toyota. After all, there's nothing quite like another FWD porker to piss off enthusiasts like us.
