I would take the CX-4 over a CX-6 if I had to choose between the two. I don't think a Mazda6 wagon with increased ground clearance looks good. Besides, the CX-5 already exists, which is pretty much a Mazda6 with increased ground clearance.
mazda3 already can be a wagon, the cx3 is a wagon, the 6 is going to be a wagon. what's next, the miata wagon?

It might be that all 3 (Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5) are using the same platform. Either way, the CX-5 just as spacious as a Mazda6 inside, probably more spacious because of the extra headroom.CX-5 is based off of a 3 not a 6 if I recall.
Maybe a Ford Edge competitor. Something a little bigger, maybe even more premium than the CX-5, but smaller than the CX-9.I wonder if Mazda's next US built SUV will be slotted between the CX5 and CX9 for a tweener sized SUV, which is where this lifted mazda6 wagon "CX-6" kinda fits.
This is exactly the reason why my dad bought a Kia Sorento. CX5/CRV was too small, CX9/Highlander was too big and expensive. There also seem to be an increasing amount of comments of "i miss the CX7", due to the exact same reasoning of wanting a goldilocks SUV.
Toyota also doesn't really have a tweener SUV either, as the Venza has gone out of production.

Based off 3 and 6
Interior space such as legroom etc for CX-5 is actually very close to the 6Yup, both. But largely it's most similar in size to a tall 3 (with a slightly larger trunk/hatch).

This was the most perplexing thing to me and my wife about the CX-5. We can park the CX-5 inside the garage and it will occupy the same amount of space, maybe a tiny bit more than my Speed3. But if you go inside the CX-5, the space in the interior blows away the what now feels like cramped interior space in the Speed3. I just cannot understand how the CX-5 has so much interior room but not be that much bigger than a Speed3.
Because it's a larger vehicle inside a smaller body. They have utilised space well compared to other Mazda models.

Agree 100%. My son's Mazda 3 is about the same size but really cramped in the back.
