I totally agree with your observations about how this baby drives but am somewhat sceptical as to your comparisons to the Volvo S60R. Firstly, my impressions are that the 9-3 Vector comes fully loaded at its $33K sticker price whereas I am certain the $36K you quoted for the S60R is just for the car itself and once you start to add options Im sure you will be looking at more like $40K plus. The Mazda 6, while a great improvement over previous Mazda cars, is not in the same class as a Saab, Audi, BMW or even a VW. In Europe they compare the car to a Ford Mondeo or an Opel Vectra and various middle of the road Euro sedans as they have said the car just isnt that classy and I am certain it wont handle anywhere near as good as even a base 9-3SS.
