agreed.. shud boycott those H and T money spinners. I really hope Mazda 6 will whack their asses of the pedestal. And me personally dont like the front of new Accord ( at least from pics la ). M6 over Camry or Accord anytime..all the time.
freddie

J195
Ya.... crony business sure make big bucks...

Accord estimated price tuned down from 145K to 140K. See how true is it, in just another 4 days :)

... and that is for 2.0

as for 2.4, it goes from 175K to 170K
zeo
quite worth buying. it's looks sporty and big at the same time. I quite like it
donyong
You are referring to the accord or the M6?
SC999
Don, btw, any idea how long the waiting period?
donyong
Waiting period, zombie_smiley.gif confused.gif depends on the colour. On stock right now,

2.0 - black, pearl white(not confirmed) & blue
2.5 - pearl white & lilac silver

other colours are mica grey (like our GT), maroon, chilli red (sports colour), other black shades, etc other colours.

If you choose other colours, depends, maybe NEXT YEAR!!!!! Jan or Feb 09.

Like our GT situation, allocation from Japan very tight!!! production kenot keep up with demand. You want immediate, book the colour on stock.
SC999
the black one super cun! just saw one OTR.

my buyer, if u reading here, quickly firm up our sales!
donyong
Jan9999, btw, exteriorily the 2.0 and the 2.5 look different, I mean like the rear lamps are slight diff. apart from the more obvious fog lamps, front grille, etc.

U getting the 2.5?
freddie

I'm pleased to announce that the offcial launch of the new M6 along with the CX9, M5 and etc. will be :-

1) On 7th May 2008
2) At Berjaya Hills Resort.

It is tentatively a closed event, i.e. for Berjaya Management, Staff and Media only. However, you may GATE CRASH! tongue.gif

can i go in as a reporter ?hehe

Hi Don, I thought M6 going to be launched same time as new Accord ?

Anyway, today just saw the real new Accord car in one of the Honda showrooms. Impressive. Many potential buyers book the car right after they look around the car. Consider a value buy for such a big size car. 2.0 is 140K and 2.4 is 171K.

zeo
base on the ext looks which is better accord or m6 ? I think m6 looks better but accord is more manly
donyong
Seen the Accord, wifey say down.gif . So now wait for the M6.

Eldiabio,

The outgoing M6 was reviewed as a car with good handling and sportiness. However, 3 things were noted to be poor for this car from many reviews: -

1) Road noise;
2) Wind noise; and
3) Engine noise.

The new M6 is CLAIMED to rectify this problem. In Motortrader, a reader tested the new M6 2.5 and commented that it is quieter than the current camry. We'll wait and see. Launch date has been postphoned till May 08. They want to launch 4 new line-up at the same time. As for Naza, they are proceeding with their own launch date (without permission from Bermaz - the official Mazda distributor for Malaysia). I'm very wary of their pricing, since they always price what they want!!


As an owner myself (after MMM dissapointed me from owning the LGT tongue.gif ) of the 'present' M6 (after 9/5 can call 'old' M6 teehee.gif ), I tend to agree on the two of the three observations but I may add a little comment.
The road noise is definitely there and can be annoying at times. Maybe my tyres are worn (I got a pre-owned one) but some owners of new cars also made the same complaint. Mazda claimed the facelift model (in Malaysia, end of 2006 onwards) has sound deadening materials called thinsulate but obviously it is not good enough.
On engine noise, it isn't that bad and only get itself heard when doing real hard acceleration - the kind of stomping or standing on the fun pedal, otherwise I have no issue with it.
As far as my car is concern wind noise is well surpressed that I never once think about it when driving even at high speed. Or perhaps my 30% tread-left tyres are just too noisy they drown the wind noise. Will know for sure once I replaced the doughnuts.
