Yep, but Holland sucks in that way. Germany is our neighboor, but they even get it cheaper

Probably around 35.000 euro's

I think it will be 5-speed manual. There won't be a automatic offered in Europe (at least at the beginning.)

Your all right, only 5-speed manual for the 194hp version in Europe.

The 240Hp is made at end of May and need ~1 Month to come from Japan to your dealer. So you can have our 8 for late June.

Due to priority of 240Hp model, the 194hp model comes only in begining 2004

Nederland:

2.0 handgeschakeld: € 25.370
2.0 automaat: € 26.970
2.0 CiTD 120pk: € 27.220

Belgie:

2.0 handgeschakeld: € 25.699
2.0 automaat: € 24.899
2.0 CiTD 120pk: € 21.499

Hm...verschillen vallen nog wel mee (behalve de diesel dan). Opvallend dat bij jullie de diesel en automaat goedkoper zijn!!

Then I ask the Germans: what are the prices of the Mazda6 (cheapest) 2.0 in your country?


Groeten aan alle Belgen en Nederlanders.
Bedankt, en de groeten terug!
