If you go to
www.mazda.com, it says ford motor company in huge letters right at the bottom of the main screen. Doesnt get much more obvious than that that there is a link, does it?
I like the mazda 6, but it doesnt look exceptional to me. And the exhaust looks like two tiny little pipes with ricer chrome extensions on it. I prefer my svt -- if I was buying a NEW car now, it would not be a mazda 6 -- for a little more I can get a wrx (turbo and all wheel drive -- important around here) for example.
