Be sure to check out the new Mazda6 if you're looking at cars in that segment.

Mazda and Ford split up a few years ago.  zero tech sharing between the brands these days.  

 

You can't get a V6 with the Mazda6, but the 4 performs well enough delivering 37mpg highway and the best handling in the category.  Diesel coming later in the year for a ride with more torque if that's what you're after.

 

If I were in the market for a mid-sided family sedan from a non-luxury brand, the Mazda 6 would be what I'd buy without question.  We have a couple of Mazda3s now.  Once you get used to the handling they offer, other brands seem boring to drive.

that new mazda diesel looks awesome.  14:1 compression ratio for a diesel is unheard of.  aluminum block too, which I'm not sure if that is good or bad.  I'm leaning towards bad.

But now I may have to rethink getting the focus hatchback (if banks will loan me dough that is)
