ive yet to see a skyactiv engine advertised with more than the 155hp in the 2.0L
thats not really enough to compete in the 6's market segment regardless of the comparative lightness of the vehicle.
i mean the optima, accord, and even camry have engines putting out over 250 hp with over 30 mpg..
anyone have any knowledge about this? if i am incorrect, i apologize and it will have been due to ignorance.
thats my only concern with this car, because its incredibly sexy and it will be light and have mazda handling
2.5G: 189hp/189ft-lb: 37mpg (combined!)
Camry/Accord wannabe.
A turbo 2.5L is likely for CX9 and Mazda Speed6.New poster here, I've been waiting for this car since the Takeri concept and am considering it to replace my current car in about 1.5-2 year time frame. So far the only thing bugging me is the engine choices. I'm really hoping that the Skyactiv-G 2.5 for the US is stronger than 189hp or at least a turbo option in addition to the diesel.

Note that this car weighs around 3000lbs only!
It is comparable to having 285hp driving CX9 (which weighs 4500lbs).
0-60mph around 7.5 sec can be expected.
Raise the rev limit to 7K+!

4 door S2k ftw!!! LOL Be crazy if it can rev to 9k but then it'd have like no torque\Raise the rev limit to 7K+!

Edit: There was a comment posted about on C&D saying that the Skyactiv-G engines can't be turbo'd. Is there any truth to that?

S2K has 8000rpm redline....to generate 240hp from 2.0L engine. It screams like a motorcycle engine.
Skyactiv-G can be turbo-ed, but like someone already commented, the compression ratio has to be lowered to 10:1 or less.
