Just an FYI: Mazda is 0wned by Ford, so the Mazda 6 will be made in Detroit. I feel bad for those who think it's a Japanese car. It would be a nice car otherwise.

I heard on Autoweek that the 6 will be made in China

Ugh...that's even worse. I think I'll just stick with the top 3 Japanese mid-size sedans when shopping for my next car.

aren't camry's made in the US these days? and someone's new accord was made in mexico. regardless, isn't toyato still a "japanese car?"

With mazda's case, even tho owned by ford, are they still a japanese division?

Yeah...but I think they share components with Ford cars. I think the V6 in the new 6 has a Ford engine.

What's wrong with these rear-ends?

G35

Altima

I think they look gorgeous...and much better than previous Nissan designs.

Nasty taillights on the Altima.

For nearly the past decade I thought Toyota Camry's were made in Georgetown, KY and Honda Accord's in Marysville, OH

That's a real damn shame. They'd be better off letting Hyundai build the cars.

I thought so too. But my parents told me they saw an Accord made in Mexico during a recent visit to a local Honda dealership.

Nooooooooooooooo! It's ok with me if VW's are made in Mexico (except for the Passat) but Accord's made in Mexico?

Just make sure that any Honda you buy is made in Marysville, OH or Japan. Refuse to take delivery on a mexican Honda...simple as that.
