Also more sporty, so not great for typical Camry appliance buyer.

Will it come with a stick shift? Magic 8 ball says future is cloudy.

Perfectly adequate. If the lease deals are as good this fall as they have been the last few months, it could be a serious contender for my next ride.

Agree with a lot what your saying on the Mazda front . Here is the flip side to the mazda6 and probably why sales are lagging. Small market . Better leased deals on the other vehicles . Buyers who don't like driven a 4cyl. Folks buying have a lot of good choice in segment with Altima, Accord, Sonata all close in MPG's all bigger inside including Fusion than the 6 . Mazda's Front seats and quarters are very tight inside cabin for bigger people. I hit my head getting in / out of the mazda6 every time. Wind / Cabin noise is terrible. ( always been a problem with Mazda's ) Front seat comfort. Back seat . The family guy does not want this vehicle.
I agree ride and handling is exceptional in the Mazda6 just isn't appealing to most family midsize sedan buyers.
Go after that younger driver that might not want to pay BMW prices. With some better marketing and tweaking the zoom could be the answer.

So now you've got your undecided shopper who wants something different. Your 1st stop is the Nissan dealer. You see a lot of Altimas on the road. Depending on what you are looking for, it is hard to say no to a cheap lease or mega discount & cheap financing. The 3.5L V6 isn't the best seller, but is still an option.
The Sonata & Optima also offer a nice looking package, great mpg, BIG discounts, & cheap leases, plus a turbo motor option.
The Fusion? Gorgeous. No slouch in the performance department with the optional 2.0 Turbo engine. Big discounts & lots of rebates.
Then you head to your Mazda store. You've read all the magazine comparos, you are an enthusiast, you dig the styling, the interior is top rate. There aren't so many Mazda dealers as the others, so you are offered a good deal, but nothing that blows you out of the water. The 185hp motor is adequate, but doesn't exactly go zoom zoom.
What does Mazda need to do to win more buyers? Offer AWD as an option. Offer a turbo motor with 250 - 260 hp.

but, yes, it is for a certain type of buyer. Enthusiasts? People that like what BMWs used to be, and are on a budget?

Edit - oh god, it's a slush box. My sister had the presence of mind to get a stick shift.

Jaguar works off very small volume and seems to survive.
Mazda is a stand alone entity.
