Mazda is building an all-new N/A straight-six

heavyD^2 · 03-23-2022, 01:53 PM

Mazda has to focus on where the money is and that's CUV and SUV. The Mazda 3 is a good car but current generation sales have nosedived. I personally think this is the right call as I think the market for a car like the Mazda 6 is shrinking more every year and I think it would have bombed even it if had good word of mouth.

Damn this sucks, when the rumors first came about a few years ago for an NA inline 6, rwd 6MT with around 350hp I was all in on it being my forever daily. Looks like I’m down to the new Nissan Z and next gen Lexus RC.

It doesn't sound like it's totally dead, just that they want to get the SUV's out first. Makes sense, but maybe not from the timeline everyone was expecting.

IMHO Ford made the right call and stopped making cars other than the stang. As soon as upper middle class women decide something is uncool, it's dead, and sedans are dead.

Thanks god for the Germans...I'm sure I'll be long gone before they hang up their sedan lineups.
