Totally, Completely, 100% New MAZDA6: We looked, discovered, and believed. When it zooms by the first time you probably won’t believe it’s the same car. If you loved the 08 you will beg for the 09. It’s like looking back at an old yearbook and realizing how your style has changed.
The MAZDA6 body has aged perfectly with a new aerodynamic sleek look & body color sport-type front grill, bumpers, door handles and side moldings. When it zooms by again you will notice the green tinted glass, in-glass rear window antenna, rear-sport-type combination taillights with LED, Xenon headlights and finally the single exhaust with dual outlets. Of course, that’s before you step inside or check under the hood.
The bigger wheelbase offers more stability and added comfort where space is needed for both driver and passengers, not to mention the best-in-class cargo space and 60/40 rear fold-flat seats for extra storage. There is something for everyone to love about the experience of this ride. You decide: the new AC with pollen filter for cleaner air, auto-dimming mirrors, push-button ignition start, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, 12V power outlets and many more features that were missing in the 08s.
Did we mention the engine! Whether you choose the 4-cylinder or a V6, the young engine will meet your expectations and growing endurance. This vehicle gets 30 MPG highway and 21 MPG city.*
The added value alone, from the assets above plus Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) and other standard safety features should be enough to excite any buyer. For a vehicle that was exclusively designed with North Americans in mind, even the most practical bargain hunters will thrive on the affordability of this powerhouse.
The 2009 MAZDA6 will be arriving at MileOne dealerships in September starting at $19,220 MSRP*.

Since the introduction of Dragon Boat Racing in 1998, it has proved to be one of the premier team building events in the Greater Baltimore Community.
As an official corporate sponsor for the event, MileOne has formed a team of 22 who have been practicing every Tuesday night in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in hopes of winning the 2008 cup. MileOne takes great pride in our involvement within our community and is ecstatic to be apart of this very worthy cause.
To get involved, we invite everyone with their family and friends to join us on race day to show support and enjoy the fun. Children especially can have a great time watching the boats, silly team hats, team chants and visiting the different themed tents.
