vewy vewy nice.....
bit disappointing... i rekon they could have fit a few more buttons inside!
dam thats nice! unlike other manufacturers :honda: have actually spent some time designing the rear as well as the front
Still a Grandpa car, check out the size of the gauges!
The steering is too civic-ish
do we get the touring model?
Its not that nice in real life,
to boxy,
ive seen it and been in it when they brought it in for filimming at the end of last yr
looks good.
Well, it's not all that bad...
would I get it one day? sure why not...it's a honda...reliable! hahaha
damn that's classy...looks like it's trade in time.
Looks nice but have to actually see it.
What's the damage $$$?
Honda Accord Camry lol
The rear and interior look nice, not fussed about the rest though.
looks alright, nothing great, pumped guards, mainly using the current euro design and just slightly adjusting it here and there...

Well, I think the current euro looks better. But the interior is better than the current euro.
The all new mazda 6 looks better in and out IMO.
I see electric power steering!!!!!!
I hope the diesel version comes out here.. That would be the one to get for daily driving.
yeah i do agree the new mazda 6 has more appeal in looks than the new euro. I still prefer the current euro looks, but the new euro interior looks awesome! Im sure as the new euro series over the next 2-4 years will expect new wheels, minor tweaks, bodykits will change it the look.
Is that a good or bad thing?Quote:

So the Wagon coming to Australia now or not?
Hmm, I'm not sure I like the new Mazda6. It reminds me too much of the Mitsubishi 380 mated with a Mazda 323 SP20..... I still prefer the new Euro.Quote:

Both! Good because we won't have that PS pump sticking out. Bad because it might have a worse steering feel!Quote:

EPS? Even more reason to get one
Hey in the above foto with the mazda 6.... the euro in that foto doesnt look like the sport or lux model at all its to basic (smallis wheels nit kit).... where as the 6 is the sports model... maybe we should wait untill the new euro lux/sport pic come out b4 we star comparing the 2 cars.
Sports model or not, I prefer the Honda any day. Mazda never did and never will do it for me I'm afraid.
I am hoping for the diesel version too. These are three models of Euro I can think of by the time it's released here: Euro standard, Euro luxury and Euro diesel. I don't think the wagon version will make it here. If Subaru launched its new boxel turbodiesel engine for Liberty range by following suit that has been done by current Mazda 6 diesel then new Euro should follow suit too.Quote:

I think with the power increase to 147kw is to pay off the additional kerb weight of new Euro, looking from the looks...it look certainly bigger and heavier for sure. So I think the performance if not the same will be only slightly better.
If I still loyal to my current Euro for the next few years I might be trading for the facelifted version of the new Euro. I don't want to trade my current Euro yet...it still drives excellent.
Perhaps it might be time for you to update your Euro to a new one, don't you think aaron? ;)
Mazda looks better in that shot IMO but will have to wait and see final specs for what we end up with to decide. But jeez, talk about shared design language - compare the flanks of those two cars, they're almost identical.
Yeah it looks like Toyota tried to copy the flared front guards of the RX8 to the new Camry, and now Honda have copied the Camry's design, and the Mazda 6 copied the wedge style sides of the Euro. Whats a bet the new Maxima will share a similar design lol
Had a good read of the options for the new euro,and let's just say the 6 cannot compare.
The car looks awesome, my old man would be interested in purchasing one if the wagon came with the i-DTEC diesel engine ...
Overall it looks good. Only thing that needs improving is the rear end tail lights and 3/4 angle. Apart from that looks good :thumbsup:
More info and pics here: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=740462
I've been waiting to upgrade my 03 Euro and now seeing the new Euro I don't think I'll upgrade to another Euro unfortunately. Compared to the Mazda 6 and the Mondeo XR5 it looks a little plain IMO.
As far as i understand, it will be another year before we see it here yeah?If so, it would sux..
From the side angle, middle to front looks might hot..
Nah, my 1st priority now is property. Not going to waste money on cars, especially since my 04 Euro is still considered new. Unless of course it is an FD2R. LOLQuote:

rear bar has so much overhang!
still love my euro better
cant wait to see the mugen version tho
just found my car for 2010 when my lease ends! Euro diesel wagon
dont like the single exhaust look pointing down..
im assuming its the sedan is a sports model.. hence the red speedos, manual and half leather interior.??
The LHD model is most likely the Acura TSX which has more luxury options, being an Acura.Quote:

Interior wise,Current Honda Euro still has better quality of finish than mazda 6 and Liberty. Even the new Maz 6 and Mondeo can't match Current model Euro. I hope the new Euro wont disappoint us in this department.

For the wagon, I would definitely get the new model. The rear panel, where the rear window is located is so much better. The current model's rear window is too squarish (more like minivan/oddy style).
Wow, that nissan maxima picture is definitely looks like futuristic car. Not bad...
The single muffler is on the 2 litre version - the 2.4 litre we will get will still have dual mufflers - just like this wagon version:Quote:

Its Hydraulic ftw
Love the interior, not a fan of the rear end though....
new Euro got the v6 engine with cylinder de-activitation technology like the V6 Accord or not?
No, only 2.0, 2.4 and diesel engines for now.Quote:

Really it's about time they switched to EPS on the Euro; I mean it's been like what 18 years since Honda first started using it in other cars?
mazdas power still sucks bum!
Since i purchased my car last year i was worried about the new model coming out due to depreciation and the fact it will probably be better. I can relax now cos after looking at the official pics ther is no way id trade in my car for the new euro at the moment.
The interior is great but the exterior just doesnt do it for me. Im sure when a sportier model comes out it will make me think twice but ther just isnt enough improvements for the extra cash.
Mate, your car will depreciate alot when the new one is out.Quote:

Got word that there could be already some new euros in the country and should be on sale in a few months.
Melbourne and Sydney motor shows should have them.
I'm looking forward to checking them out in the flesh. They're slowly growing on me, I just hope it isn't a porker.
It looks like a porker, unlike the Mazda 6 which is saving weight on the older model, looking at this car I am assuming it will be heavier which seems to be the general trend with most new cars these days. I prefer the wagon model over the sedan.Quote:

i'm not keen on it's new design, to much complex lines on the exterior, and try hard light designs, whereas the new Mazda 6 is sharp, clean design with fresh ideas!
i'm talking with my back towards my parents '03 Euro, but it looks like she'll be off the hands of the bank soon, it's only done under 30k in her life so far - I'm not kidding! OEM Dunnies still on her 16" rims, and looks like she'll loose alot of value if her replacement comes soon...
i'm cheating on her... ever since I saw my new love on the streets of Sydney last Saturday - exactly blue hatch lux.
http://www.caradvice.com.au/10258/20...pecifications/
Looks like the old M6...
Jesus every man and his dog had one in NZ
Had 25 houses on my street, 8 Mazda 6's
don't like the new M6 at all... the interior as really nice but outside, somethings lacking - unlike the new euro

How do you know what equipment the new euro has that will blow the current euro?
doesnt look to bad, would be nice if we were getting the wagon...
New euro end of month on sale with delivery 3-4 weeks after that.
Wagon and pricing unconfirmed.
So what happened to the Sports4 concept??? I dont see any hint of it :(
Front on -- It looks like the main changes are the headlights. Now it doesn't flow with the grille.
From the back -- Mm.. A bit unresolved I think
Interior -- Yes, I see improvements.
The engine power output has been increased +7kw, which is good.. But I was hoping for that 3.5 V6. All the VTEC trricks are good but in the end, you can't beat displacement.
As for new Mazda6.. I think it now looks better than the new Euro. But the engine is a major drawback. 2.5l + low output...
Will I buy this new Euro when time comes to replace my current one? I m leaning towards a NO at the moment.
The difference is the 380 has a bloated upper side that curves in towards the bottom with unresolved lines. Whereas the Euro has a slim top side with a fat lower section and smoother lines
Hence the name "Concept" :(Quote:

Oh but i guess the fuel filler is on the same side :p
That's why it's made in Thailand. It's cheaper to run a production line there than it is in Japan. It's not only different parts/mounts. There are production lines, duplicate sets of tooling and more staff.Quote:

I actually quite like it, but hopefully they don't gain too much weight, otherwise the extra 7kw will just go down the drain.
