This pains me so much knowing I'm going to miss out on a turbo 6. I just got a 2017 M6 at the end of February. I got a great deal so I guess I can't be too mad. I wonder if turbos can be retrofitted at least aftermarket.

dj: replace Xterra with a turbo diesel CX-5 this fall and then get a 6 or 3 some time next year when they release them with the 2.5L.
WINNING.
WINNING.

I need something i can take camping and tow with. I should get a truck honestly, for as much as my X carries all time. I dont think the CX-5 could go the places I go when heading up to the mountains. I am looking at the Jeep GC diesel (if they ever get cert'd by the EPA and CARB) or the Volvo XC60 T8 (when I can finally test one). Other than that maybe I will wait to see what the new Bronco is going to be.

doesn't the current CEO not like the mazdaspeed line?
didn't he make some comments towards it a while back?
as for the 2.5T, I do like that Dave Coleman confirmed that the cars being built today are being designed to ensure they can take the 2.5T if Mazda decides to go that route. It would basically be plug and play. The new KF CX-5 is a prime example.
now, put that in a 6 and they could have a real winner but I worry about what that does to their class leading fuel mileage.
without a hybrid / electric / hydrogen in the fleet, this could be a hit to Mazda's #'s and make them even less appealing to the masses who lets be honest, they just look at brochure specs and pick the highest one.
