A colleague's company BMW is due for replacement in April, but he has to have decided and ordered by January. He is quite keen on getting a Mazda 6 but he has heard that this model is coming up for a facelift soon and is a little cautious.
He asked me, but I don't really pay much attention to news about new cars (I prefer to run older cars), so thought I'd ask you guys.
TIA

I don't think so, and seriously hope not, the '6 is a good looking car and there's a good chance Mazda would wreck the whole thing.

It was lauched in early 2002 IIRC and was facelifted last year, it is possible that a replacement might use a variant of the S-Max / new Galaxy / new Mondeo platform though as to timescale I dont know.

Seems like the all new Mazda 6 is not due for release until 2008.

It's certainly a looker.

US model timescales are not always in line with Europe and Japan.

heavyy sarcasm! very good adam
Given a car has a 6 year life span (on average)
launched 2002
Mid life kicker facelift 2005
New model 2008
It will probabably get "free" equipment upgrades in its last 12 months of life.

I think the front end is designed with the new pedestrian impact regulations in mind. Should score highly with EuroNcap.
Sorry - I'll stop it now.

It is not a face lift but a new car with new engines in 2008 - the face lift for the original 6 was in Autumn 2005
