Mazda 6 new models
 
Got this in email from Mazda this morning, and thought some of you might find it interesting:


Great news! We know that you're excited about the upcoming release of the 2004 MAZDA6 5-Door and Sport Wagon. Did you know the MAZDA6 is the only mid-size car with a choice of three body styles? And, now that the MAZDA6 4-Door Sport Sedan is an Automobile Magazine "All Star" for a second year in a row, we couldn't be more proud!

We are happy to announce the 5-Door is already on the way, and the Sport Wagon is scheduled to begin shipping in late March.The 5-Door and Sport Wagon are for people who need the flexibility of a large cargo area, but don't want to give up the driving dynamics of a sports sedan. While the 5-Door has the aggressively sporty good looks
combined with liftback versatility, the Sport Wagon is designed to be just as much 'sport' as 'wagon'.

Watch for both arriving at your dealer soon! We encourage you to take a test drive. Click here to find your nearest dealer: www.mazdausa.com/dealers/default.asp. (Please keep in mind, depending on where you live it may take up to 4 weeks to arrive in your area. Contact your dealer to check inventory before your visit.)

That's an awful big hatchback to lift up, I hope the hydrolic lifts last. Other than that, it's a nice looking car.

i have also 'heard' that an all-wheel drive, turbo charged 6 is in the making as well...as this is a rumor that i received from another car enthusiast i have no proof as for the validity of this information.

It's an old rumor, here's a photo of the concept. I'll be really shocked if it makes it to production.

hmm..looks a little BMW'ish from that angle...nice...yeah..i doubt it will see production...in the US at least..

Last I heard was the AWD Japan-built Atenza(Mazda6) would be imported in LHD limited quantities as the Mazdaspeed6.

I would think that Mazda wants to make a Mazdaspeed model for all of their cars just like AMG does for Mercedes. With that said, I bet the Mazda3 and the RX-8 have first priority for Mazdaspeed treatment.

looks nice now to get my 8 painted that orange!

Mr M 03-11-2004 12:37 PM

Yes, Europe does already have an AWD. Very reliable system too.

Not just an old rumor. Mazda just showed a 280hp turbo 2.3L wagon at the Tokyo Auto Show. They called it "Mazda 6 Mazdaspeed A-spec." But the car was jdm for 2005 only.

So what does the US get? Ford's duratec 3.5, 3.5 and four wheel drive.
