Smoking turbo yay
Finally! They figured it out!
It's more for people who want lots of practicality and some fun as well, without having to buy a second fun car. Moms can have the NA 2.5L engines.
Also, for some reason I see a lot of old people driving new Mazdas recently... I thought they like Toyota more.

Now all they need to do is put it in the 3 and CX-5 while making the NA 2.5 available in the CX-3 and they'll have almost a full lineup.
Then, just dust off the RX-8 tooling and shoe-horn the 2.5T into that and it will be complete.

on Mazda's Facebook page there have been tons of questions about a wagon to which there were replies from Mazda saying "wagon details coming soon" and other variations.they've now deleted all of those. That probably means a 2.5t wagon for some markets like Europe but not the us. No such allusions or accidental answers about AWD...

a good refresh, with some technical novelties , but i'm waiting to 2020.
if Mazda will present a proper RWD sedan (TMS 2019?), i will consider seriously the purchase.
Otherwise, i will change brand. (with some regrets)

I am ready to appreciate a mature luxury car. The inflated price tag of a German is justified if Mazda can't bring more substance than just a well sorted interiors and exteriors.

If Mazda doesn't deliver and you want a good, RWD sedan with north of 300 HP, the Infiniti G37/Q40/Q50 are a good choice.
Solid, well appointed, comfortable, handles well (yes, I autocrossed 2009 G37x sedan a few times, it was a hoot), and doesn't have the German reliability tax. You can get a CPO 2013 G37x Sedan for $19k or a CPO 2016 Q50 Premium for $22k. The only real downside is the lack of manual gearbox but those are starting to disappear from ze Germanz, too.

On another note - pricing for the Kia Sting-sport-er-sedan-thing is released:
Stinger starts at $31,900
Stinger Premium starts at $37,100
GT starts at $38,350
GT1 starts at $43,250
GT2 starts at $49,200
All-wheel drive: $2,200
I will gladly pay the same amount for a RWD Mazda four door platform with equal straight line performance. I trust Mazda enough to get their interior and handling dynamics right.

Also noted that Mazda appears to be including Cylinder Deactivation 4-2 which has been available only on the Europe KF CX-5...
Also on the Mazda 6 Wagon, Australia has had it from the start and you guys realize it was a narrower body, part of the reason it did not go to USA then,...
The original Wagon was not made in the 'normal' width of the 6 Sedan, but from current GJ it is..
