Mazda 6: The Manliest Car On The Market

18 Aug 2017

You may be inclined to think that vehicles like a Ford F350 and V8 Camaro are manly, but maybe it’s a Mazda that will put some hair on your chest?

The Mazda is manly because you aren’t thumping your chest about the superiority of American cars or being a snob about European cars. Also, you aren’t a sheep who buys Hondas and Toyotas because that’s what everyone else does.

It is true that trucks, muscle cars and flashy sports cars make you feel like you’re on top of the world. However, sometimes when you try too hard to be manly, you might end up looking like you’re not. Manly men don’t need “manly” cars to be manly men.

Manly men don’t drive a Prius because that might make other people think your wife wears the pants in your house; that and you might come off as an arrogant environmentalist. The Mazda 6 is a perfect compromise of car engagement and practicality. A manly man doesn’t buy a car he never truly utilizes, he buys a car that he will know will be used effectively and suits his needs.

meanwhile chuck norris probably drives a tiny little kei car with 900hp

with vtec obviously 😉

Probably a Honda S660. The 660 bit is the horsepower.

“Sheep” “Honda”

So would the giulia quadrifoglio stand out as a snobby car even though it has great practicality

the door sill is in the wrong place

Do they make a speed 6

Not anymore

There was one, but not any more. I think the only engine available is the 2.5-litre inline-4 with just over 180hp.

I kinda agree to be honest. My dad had an older one, it was a sixspeed(I think) wagon.

Those are super rare

Tbh im usually 100% murica only. But i like mx5s and mazda sedans

I might say the ford fusion/mondeo stands with the Mazda 6 at this point of time

The early ones look pretty crap, but the new one has some nice lines. The only thing I don’t like about it is the roofline is a little weird - sort of like the 3/5-series GT or the Audi A7.
