Here is 2018 interior in white:
The white looks much better. The brown makes everything look very dark.

Brown colour is currently available but looks like there is more of it.
no mention of AWD.... and no manual for the turbo engine.

Some people prefer darkThe white looks much better. The brown makes everything look very dark.
Could be. Maybe when someone posts a video of it outside we can see it's true colourIt is amazing to think the black/brown currently used seems brighter than this. I am assuming it looks better in person.
AWD is just going to add unnecessary weight. What this car really needs is a LSD for the 2.5T option so it can put down power properly.
Yes AWD please! (bow)
I do not think that a LSD is needed, just a waste of money and weight. To date, after many posts, I have not heard any complaints on the CX-9 about torquesteer or about it needing a LSD with the 2.5 Turbosky.
The stock open differential on these cars is garbage,not designed for hard cornering at all... a helical limited slip allows each tire to move seperately... the front axle rotates brilliantly, puts down power far better - I just bought a 1995 Nissan Maxima and the Canadian models came equipped with a LSD if you opted for a manual transmission. Its got a 3L V6 with 205ft/lb of torque at 4000RPM, the tires are fairly worn and bad, but they wont spin or even make so much as a chirp while cornering or doing WOT first gear pulls in the rain for whatever reason. Ive tried and the tires barely even chirped... it puts down power excellent - you can actually apply some real throttle through a corner and the front axle rotates beautifully. You clearly havent pushed the limits of your 50 mazdas, or driven any vehicle equipped with an LSD for you to make such a ridiculous statement like that. You even then go on to mention that AWD is needed, but complaining about the extra weight of an LSD. Are you serious? AWD would be fine yes, but its too much added weight and the traction only comes in handy when youre driving like a dumbass through rain or snow, thats about it. An LSD with some good tires is an overall far better choice for any driver and I can say that confidently having sampled many different open differentials and then getting the opportunity to compare it to a proper LSD, which is a far better design.
An LSD will help torque steer, but it has many, many other benefits particularly starting from a stop in the rain and cornering.
I know AWD is currently available for the wagon in certain markets but unsure if its on the sedan (uhm)
I noticed the wheelbase length is different between the 6 sedan and 6 wagon. So there are definitely different pieces under the skin.

We can only hope.There you go again. You're gonna be permanently locked out in no time if you don't learn how to act decently on an internet forum.
Sedan wheelbase - 2830mm (111.417 inches)
Wagon wheelbase - 2750mm (108.268 inches)
Yes and has less rear legroom than the sedanThe wagon is actually shorter than the sedan?
Regarding CX-9 and torque steer, I suspect most of the CX-9 buyers who know what torque steer feels like opted for AWD. It's also a heavy car.
My ideal car is the 6 wagon with 2.2D and AWD. I prefer the look of the wagon over the CX-5 and CX-9, and I prefer the lower position and lower CG. And I prefer the liftgate and cargo area versatility of a wagon over the trunk and small pass-through of a sedan. Unfortunately, Mazda makes my ideal car but won't sell it here.
I've been waiting for the CX-5 with 2.2D to get here. But I would be happy to buy a 6 sedan with the 2.5T if only it had AWD. Torque steer is not my biggest concern since I'm very used to that. My bigger concern is going up hills in the snow. I live half-way up a hill and I've had trouble getting up it in FWD cars, even with winter tires.
My wife and I would really like to have an AWD vehicle in the stable, but earlier this year we got a FWD van for her, so the burden now falls on me. I really want that 2.5T though. I loved the torque from my CX-9 test drives. So maybe there's some way I can talk myself into the 6.

I just saw a quoted official HP number of 265hp for the 2.5 T-sky on AUTOBLOG>> If that is true that is indeed 15HP more than the CX-9. Also in the article they talk about TORQUE-STEER, and reason there is no MAN TRANS on the turbo.
