how about we start a thread to speak on speculation as to what will happen with Mazda in the future?
as we all know, Mazda will officially be making their way into the luxury car market with the next generation of Mazda's and the results look pretty damn impressive.
1. Mazdas compression ignition 2L engine making 250 ft/lb
- do you think they are going to make a 2.5L version of their compression motor? while the 2L will definitely be sufficient, I think a boosted 2.5L is exactly what Mazda should have released a while ago as many of us have been waiting for an engine like this.
2. Speculations on next chassis
many have said that the next mazda 6 will be based on the FWD mazda 3 chassis, but there are sources claiming that the next Mazda 6 will have an FR RWD chassis! this would be a huge move for Mazda and a definite contender for my next vehicle. this link here says that the 6 will be front, all or RWD but the Mazda Shinari (future 6 sedan) concept certainly has the flow and proportions of a RWD car, so I am very much anticipating Mazda's next move.
I know all of this doesnt have much to do with the CX-5 crossover, but the 6 and CX-5 share a lot of parts with each other and will continue to be based off each other, so it makes sense to look at Mazda's concept right now.
3. Opinions on the Mazda Shinari concept styling
I think a few of you in particular will be very happy to see that Mazda has brought the KODO line back into their styling. I think the reason why Mazda got rid of this line on the next CX-5 is to give the car broader shoulders and a cleaner, more aggressive stance while the sedan should be more sleek with better flowing lines. anyways, I think this concept looks absolutely gorgeous and I am nothing short of ecstatic to see the direction Mazda is headed with the styling of their vehicles.
4. Transmission
do you think they will introduce a 7, 8 or 9 speed short ratio transmission?
5. Mazdaspeed
are they releasing any performance models? factory options like a sport package?
