MINI vs Mazda6? (site won't open for me )

But they are totally different cars, who would compare them?

[Robboc]

I have owned both in my time. Yes Smurf, to compare them is quite odd, I cant see any similarities.

[Richard Crofts]

Well it looks like its a US thing. Perhaps its just comparing 2 popular imported cars. Imported cars always used to be lumped together in the US because US cars were so dominant. Thats changing/changed now as the Euro and Jap companies have started to really flood the US market and US people have realised how poor some of thier cars they have been offered by Ford, Chrysler, Gm etc have been in the past.

Yep, we have both now. MINI for me, Mazda6 for Mrs Smurfn. I can't really see a comparison at all

Mini is now up 65 to 35.

The link didn't work for me, so I just went to cars.com, and clicked on "great car face-off" it is right in the middle of the page, you can't miss it.

It's not comparing the two. It is a vote picking your favorite cars and done in the style of the NCAA basketball playoffs.

Mazda 6 MPS over the MCS for me.

Yes, for you folks in the U.K., I should have provided a little bit of a lead-in explanation. I think it's meant as a lighthearted competition in the vein of our national college (NCAA) basketball championships, which are going on at the same time.

Teams are seeded according to their regular season schedule and by the strength of the teams they defeated since the season started in November. They've done the same thing with various car models and have assigned them imaginary seeds.

And the people at the cars.com website figured online fans of each car model would come to their site and vote for their favorites. And maybe browse at the rest of the site while they're there.
