Possible Mazda 6 COUPE
I found this on auto blog.. sounds pretty interesting.
The web has fired up an interesting bit of rumor concerning the next-generation Mazda6. British auto magazine WhatCar? reports that a shadowy senior official within the Japanese automaker has confirmed that a coupe version will bow after the current sedan's successor debuts in a little over a year.
The 2013 Mazda6 is set to hit the market in January 2013, and WhatCar? reports that the coupe version may not touch down until 2014 or later. That's a long, long way off, and there's no guarantee that, even if the model becomes a reality, it will be sold in the States. All of which means we're taking this one with a Mazda6-sized grain of salt.
Still, WhatCar? reports the coupe version of the Mazda6 will make use of the same SkyActiv tech found in the four-door, including a weight-saving design, small displacement engines with forced-induction and new transmissions. Still, we like the sound of an attractive two-door designed to give the Honda Accord Coupe and Nissan Altima two-door some competition, especially if it comes packing excellent fuel economy.

I swear sometimes these magazine editors get to their desk in the morning and sit there drooling into their coffee, scan forum boards for stories, don't find anything so then they all head to the restroom and while they are sitting on the crapper, they chatter about what kind of car they would like to see "in a bunch of years from now" and come up with this stuff...
That story is about as solid as melted jello.

I always scan several other message boards for several other cars/brands and I swear there are more rumors on this board than anywhere else. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Mazda never reveals anything until the last minute and always seems to be behind other brands.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
I have the hatch too. When i first saw the hatch, i was like...this is the best looking 6 on the lot, and the only blue 6 on the dealership. I fell in love right away and brought it home that day. I would never trade my hatchback 6 with another car...unless if its an evo, lol
Mazda's a teaser...lol
