Okay, whose the putz who voted for the Galant GTZ? It's not a bad car, but I mean come on, given the choices...
Anyway, my only problem with the Mazda 6 that keeps me away from it is the Ford ownership (and Duratec-based engine) and the fact that the interior is a bit snug. Snug interiors isn't a bad thing, but when you're looking for a family SEDAN, space is ususally something that cannot afford to be at a premium.

I agree on one thing, and that is that the choices should be limited to production offerings only. The TSX has some relation to the Accord, so if you're that "in-love" with the vehicle you've never tested, vote for the Accord for now.

this was a hard choice...the core deciding factor was the manual in a v6 sedan...honda won't offer such amenities so it loses out as usual...takes the fun out of everything
the 6 gets the vote currently b/c it has a decent engine with the 5 speed manual...HOWEVER, the 325i manual is very, very close in price (invoice around $25,460 so its very close)...my vote can swing for the 325i or the mazda 6 at any moment...i'd have to take a look at the 6 and the 325i to compare them...i'd probably look more towards the bimmer

take the 6 and add some options to it and you are already over 26k before you notice...if the 6 sells well dealers will be unwilling to negotiate a lower price than msrp...that's my point
