Took a look at the mazda 6 today,and was somewhat surprised when I pointed to my contour outside and told
the salesman that I considered the 6 to be it's replacement as ford had no V-6 5-speed 4 door car available
and he became quite offended. He assured me that the 6 had nothing in common with Fords and was a com-
pletely new Mazda only design,and that a lowly contour was nowhere near the quality and luxury/power of
this new Mazda. I was somewhat taken aback as was my wife so we left without even a test drive,looks like
I will have to consider going to another dealer in another city before I'd buy one from them.
Anyone else run into this kinda attitude?
