The new 6 was built off the platform of the CX-5, so the platform supports AWD, which makes the possibility of an MPS/Mazdaspeed version entirely credible.

??? It doesn't (can't tell for sure) have dual exhaust? Why the generic tail pipe instead of carrying forward the cool built-in exhaust tips seen on the Takeri concept? LAME - we're not driving a Mazda 2 for godsake!
Typically single sided exhaust systems are opposite side of gas tank. Being they are the same side, i would guess its dual

That means they changed plans from when Skyactiv was first being developed as they stated they didn't foresee the need to develop one bigger than 2.0L. I'd like to see what Toyota parts are in a CX-9 and if the CX-9 makes it to a second generation, it won't be using any power train from Ford. Ford has zero shares of Mazda. When they sold their shares they announced they would be going their separate ways. Over the years there's been a lot of "confirmations" over the years from "credible sources" but not directly from Mazda that has never came to be. I'll wait until Mazda announce the official details themselves.

Not a valid argument as they are companies that Toyota have interest in but Toyota does not produce. If you want to get technical like that many vehicles have Mitsubishi parts since Mitsubishi is also an electronics manufacturer. I don't count this since it's a completely separate portion of the company than the vehicle assembly line. Show me a Toyota manufactured part on the CX-9 and you'll have a valid point.

Sure about that?

Still 3.5%.

Japanese automakers are not like Ford. They own (shareholding) a hierarchy of part suppliers
that are loyal to them. This is their way to keep company lean and flexible.
Toyota does not produce transmission in-house. Without approval of Toyota,
it is impossible to have Aisin transmission on a CX9.
So, I think we can call Aisin's transmission "Toyota transmission". If you disagree,
that is fine with me.
However, based on that reasoning, there is no "Toyota transmission" nowadays.

We will not see the 2.0L in North America. We will be getting a 2.5L gas and 2.2L diesel.

It was hard to post here yesterday. Great looking car. Power seems good, just needs a 6mt for the 189 hp/tq.

And the Kudo design language and Skyactiv technologies will bring Mazda to the top of its vehicle classes.
I'll take mine in blue.
