Mazda is showing two modified 2009 Mazda 6 sedans at its North Hall booth at the 2008 SEMA Show. The mods on both are primarily cosmetic, but I'm kind of drawn to the Mazda 6 penned by Troy Lee Motorsports. It also has Eibach springs and an upgraded brake kit, including cross-drilled rotors with six-piston calipers up front. The black wheels are from Momo.
Others were drawn to the Troy Lee Mazda 6, too. Could it have been the opportunity to have their photo taken with "Miss Mazda"? For the record, I declined the offer...
The other 2009 Mazda 6 on the stand is the work of David Green and goes by the name Green Energy. It has 19-inch Volk Rays wheels but otherwise it's fairly subtle. Still, both cars are a lot closer to something I'd want to lay eyes on every day -- in stock form, the 2009 Mazda 6 doesn't quite do it for me.

2009 6 does not do it for me either. Too LARGE.
I'm looking forward to the 2010 3.

I wonder if the MAZDA6s that will be campaigned in touring car racing will look similar to the Troy Lee MAZDA6. We'll see in the 2009 season! :o)

It does seem too big to be a sports sedan.
