if that thing comes in SkyActive Diesel, it could be a force to be reckoned with here in the US.

watered down just a bit...to fit in I suppose. Mazda still did a good job. They should make a hatchback version instead of the wagon. It could be a poor mans Panamera. Regardless, this car screams I need power. You can't make something that looks like this slow.

It will be interesting to see if they release it right away to the US/Canada markets with the diesel engine, and who they target the diesel market towards.
Will they aim at the people who buy the Jetta/Passat/A3 TDI cars, and market their cars as being more fun to drive with better fuel economy, or will they target the car to people looking at the E350 Merc, saying its just as good, but nearly half the price, but with way better fuel economy?
I look forward to test driving one, loving it, and then complaining that Mazda won't bring it into the US in the color I want, with a manual transmission.

Automotive news are reporting a 2.5 4cyl??..
A source with knowledge of Mazda’s product plans said the U.S.-market Mazda6 will get a 2.5-liter, direct injection four cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission as its base powertrain. The Russian-market Mazda6 gets a base, 2.0-liter direct injection engine, according to Mazda’s announcement
We will see, it will be a SA 2.5 then
Looks like there could be 2 engine options for US 6, 2.2l SAD and 2.5l SAG?

I'd think that makes a bit of sense from a sales perspective. The 2.5L is probably going to hurt the economy impact of the SkyG vs the 2.0L SkyG, but it will produce the better power numbers that is the biggest complaint in the US about the CX-5, and probably still give 30+mpg?
I'd still take the diesel. Crossing my fingers that the "base with MT" doesn't mean "only base gets MT", and a MT AWD diesel is an option.

There are mags saying 2.5 gas and 2.0 diesel. I see other mags saying 2.0 gas and 2.2 diesel for US.
It's funny to see them speculate. Top level mags are still saying the next MX-5 will have a 1.3 turbo

Don't know of any 2.0 SkyActiv Turbo Diesel, only 2.2 Litre.
There is a 1.3 DI NA SkyActiv used in JDM Demio (Mazda 2) for the past 18 months, which they are not going to install in the export Mazda 2 (Big Mistake IMO), Mazda 2 needs a NEW engine instead of the tired old (20yo) 1.5 litre.
Looks like the ALL NEW Mazda 6 Wagon will debut in Paris on Sept 29.!!
No plans for a Mazda 6 HATCH at this stage, or Mazda 6 COUPE!!??...I don't believe them, my sources say YES.

I don't get the fascination you guys have with wagons.
I think wagon, I think 1980's and soccer moms.
