2008/2009 Mazda 6

This cobbled-up creature is actually a test mule for the 2008 Mazda 6. Based on a modified CD3 platform – know as CD3-2 – the 2008 Mazda 6 will be sharing the platform with the new Ford Mondeo. Down the line, the CD3-2 is also expected to be the platform for various other future models – including the Jaguar X-Type and new Volvo S60.

Even though some pieces are patched together to accommodate the new and longer (possibly up to 30 mm longer overall) and wider Mazda 6, we can still see clues showing the new front fascia, including honeycomb inserts in the air intakes, large projector-type headlamp clusters. And, it’s very easy to see that that the new 2008 Mazda 6 will be larger than the outgoing model.

The 2008 Mazda 6 will be powered by Ford’s new 250-horsepower 3.5-liter “Cyclone” engine. Other engine offerings may include a 2.5-liter inline-4 powerplant, and all-wheel-drive will be a popular option on all Mazda 6 versions.

A hybrid model will eventually become available, using the same 2.5-liter hybrid engine as the American 2008 Ford Fusion. All three body styles, a sedan, hatchback and wagon, will be offered, as well as a Mazdaspeed for the 2009 model year. Production will take place in Flat Rock, Michigan (for North American models), as well as Japan. Asian production should start a year from now, whereas North American production is expected to begin in June of 2008.

cei de la wcf speculeaza ca masina din spyshoturile de mai jos e un mule pentru a doua generatie de Mazda 6 lansata in 2002 in japonia. Se pare ca avea aceeasi platforma cu noul Ford mondeo , noul Jaguar x-type si noul Volvo s60.. Dupa cum arata insa masina e posibil totusi sa fie un facelift al modelului actual:

The new 6 will be based on the 2008 Ford Mondeo

care la randul sau o are preluata de la nu mai stiu care alta masina (am un lapsus acum). wtf? o strica si pe asta? degeba arata ea bine daca nu se si comporta ca atare.. nu stiu de ce dar am o senzatie naspa in privinta noului model.

E numai platforma   vezi ca si Volvourile tot au platforma de Ford, asta inseamna ca daca Mazda si Volvo au ales aceasta platforma chiar sunt bune

Dar in afara de platforma sunt multe ....

ori asta ori din considerente pur financiare. ma indoiesc ca cei de la Ford nu ar fi vrut sa-i faca cadou noului mondeo o platforma noua adusa la zi dpv tehnologic, etc. dar avand in vedere ca sunt cu un picior in groapa ce-au zis, hai sa luam ce avem deaja in curte, sa mai mermelim putin et voila.
asta e putin cu cantec, ca degeaba ii mai pun ei 2000 de chestii pe langa, daca baza pe care a fost construita nu e facuta cum trebuie. si vorbim aici de o masina care are ceva pretentii. e ca si cum ai face o vila de j-de mii de euroi, termopane, piscina, etc, dar fundatia casei e de pamant...
si iete si un cgi .. de aratat arata bine de tot chiar

Parise vorbesti fara sa stii ce........"nu se comporta ca atare" .....pe ce argumente faci afirmatia asta......ai acasa o Mazda 6??
