Don't know about the others, but Mazda keeps mentioning its cooled egr injection to control temps and knock and provide real world fuel economy.

Does it actually work? How's the CX-9 in real world tests?

Just been looking over the Mazda 6 2.5l Turbo... still a GL Model code.

Yes, it appears there will be an AWD (Auto Trans Only), as it is listed in Dealer Service Manuals for Australian version, so I guess the US will get a version also.

Also the 360 degree camera looks interesting.
Here is the Genuine Target Marker Tool (SST) 49 JP04 001 for Aiming and Initialization of the all new 360 degree Camera in new GL Mazda 6 Turbo.
A pair of these targets are used right around the car, that is Front, Rear, Left Side and Right Side.

my 2009 infiniti has 360 overhead view cameras, one on the front grill, one on the back and one on each of the side mirrors. pretty nifty!

along with radar cruise with auto braking and lane keep assist it has managed to make me an even worse driver! when I drive a normal car with no aids I can no longer reverse, park or use normal cruise control without much stress and hesitation. I almost rear ended someone at a stop light expecting the car to auto brake! The government is programming us! lol
