They do make a truck, but it's not in the American market.I wish they would make a truck. If they made trucks with the same driving dynamics as their cars I'd be first in line to trade my TRD-Offroad 4WD Tacoma in and I'd never look back.
I thought they said the 6 sedan cannot be equipped with awd unlike the wagon? Bunch of liers, realmad.
I dunno, that's what the guy on stage said. He specifically said that diesel engine option will be coming to an AWD Mazda6.I thought they said the 6 sedan cannot be equipped with awd unlike the wagon? Bunch of liers, realmad.
Correct, the Mazda6 if I'm not mistaken, has been refreshed along the years, but is not all new. It is still riding on the same platform or similar platform to the previous models. The 2018 Mazda6 is still a Gen3 Mazda6 model. So they could possibly already have a Gen4 Mazda6 ready to release in a year or two, which will have AWD and be compatible with every engine in their lineup.Maybe they accidentally leaked that the next gen Mazda6 is coming next year. The Mazda6 is actually next in line for the new Mazda3 platform.

Curious. People here seem to resent the introduction of the promised diesel. I wonder why.
starting at 41300 usd.....wow...
Well there you are. Just keep an open mind and see what you think.
Who is ready to roll some coal? These already beat 2.5t numbers with just a tune alone.
I'm trying to keep an open mind. Presumably Mazda knows something we don't. They seem to think that we'll view this as premium and a better experience than the 2.5T, by a big margin. I've never driven the 2.5T. I look forward to driving it and the diesel.
Something doesn't add up. I hope to be wowed. I hope that this thing really gets 40mpg on the freeway. I'm averaging about 24 or 25 mpg in my 2.5 NA 2018, I'd expected the diesel to average at least 30MPG. Hopefully it does, in spite of what the EPA numbers say.
But the drive and the experience will have to be much nicer than the turbo for it to make any sense. Obviously fuel economy can't explain the price premium.
I do see that the diesel includes 2 yr / 30K free maintenance. Presumably that is to mitigate misgivings about DEF and whatnot. To me that's worth about $200 or so.
Cool, so throw the warranty out on an engine that has constantly plagued mazda for reliability? Show us this 80hp tune?
Stop now Unob. The older engines had problems but the new one has been modified and doesn*t. Its every bit as reliable as yours which incidentally has very little experience of high mileage under the high pressure of a turbo. You don*t know if you*ve got any skeletons in the cupboard just yet so i wouldn*t gloat for a while if i were you.

Yep, the BIG REVEAL was not appealing to me. Just my preference in things. Although diesel at the pumps is a bit better to access in my area than it was back when I bought my CX-5 in 2013. Now most of the brand new Quiktrip and Racetrac stores have a diesel pump or two.

Offering an extremely weak maintenance offering when the first and last time I used my dealer for a simple oil change took well over 2 hours to accomplish.....yeah right.
Changing the oil on a diesel takes exactly the same time as a petrol. The only difference is the position of the oil filter but there is a big access panel.
