The leather Package adds cowhide to all the right places, with thankful perforations on the seating surfaces. Unless you're a customer that is. I am.

	The 2006 ~~Mazda 6~~ is the sportiest of the midsize ~~sedans~~. Visually, it has more personality than the Accord and other midsize cars. It has a strong front-end treatment that's consistent with other Mazdas. Cat's-eye headlamps and big, multi-element tail lamps enhance the action at each corner of the car.

It has a strong front-end treatment that's consistent with other Mazdas. Cat's-eye headlamps and big, multi-element tail lamps enhance the action at each corner of the car.

	2006 brings some styling revisions to the ~~Mazda 6~~ line. New headlamps, revised tail lamps, new front and rear bumper fascia, and new side sills add more edge to the styling. Fog lamps are incorporated into the front spoiler. A new sport grille, dark gray headlamp bezels, and a rear spoiler add distinction for top-line models. Also, 18-inch ~~wheels~~ have been added to the options list. Bright Island Blue and Tungsten Gray have been added to the color palette for 2006, and we really liked the new Dark Cherry, which will be mistaken for black in some lighting conditions.		2006 brings some styling revisions to the Mazda6 line.

	The shape of the ~~Mazda 6~~ is truly fetching when painted a hot color and accented by Sport-level trim, which includes a body-color front grille, gray headlight bezels, clear-lens halogen fog lamps, dual oval exhaust outlets, front and rear air dams, and side sill extensions. These bits are also available on base and Grand Touring models. The outside door handles are well designed and easy to grab.

	The 5-Door hatchback features an extended rear roof pillar sloping rearward into a raised deck lid. As Mazda says, it looks fast even when standing still. Casual observers may not notice the difference between the 5-Door and the sedan.

	The Sport Wagon looks sleek, clean and aggressive, if not as overtly sporty as the hatchback.		The Sport Wagon looks sleek, clean and aggressive, if not as overtly sporty as the hatchback.
