Mazda may release another crossover "below" CX-7

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/au...other_suv.html

the article states

Quote:

Masahiro Moro, vice-president of marketing for Mazda Europe, said: "We are very interested in this segment, as all the data shows that it will grow in the future. We would not have a pure SUV, but a crossover vehicle would fit nicely with Mazda's brand DNA."

When pushed on when exactly the vehicle might arrive at dealerships, Moro added cryptically: "Sooner rather than later is better. You will see."

my only guess is that he is hyping the return of the Tribute under the new "CX-5" name. It will be a hybrid (i think possibly even EXCLUSIVELY hybrid). it goes on to say they are even contemplating the CX-9 for europe- that may just be the biggest car on the road if they do.

it also says something else i will post in rx-8 media news.....

but whats that about the MPS/Mazdaspeed 6 being available in the estate/wagon form there?
