I'm stoked to see it. I would guess that it will be not many months to see the production version at an auto show.

Build the Shinari, throw in the SkyActive diesel, call it the Mazda 6 coupe and be done with it.

Looks okay. Anyway, the only good looking Mazda 6's are the ones made from 04-05. The rest are okay, but it doesn't look sportier than the ones that are made on those years.

What? Are you referring to this picture? This a test mule. That means it has the new chassis, suspension and powertrain, but the sheet metal is slapped on from the current model.




This is what it should look like... the Mazda Takeri concept is the new Mazda 6.



So, let's compare to the '05... ya, that's what I thought.

Looks a little stubby in those pics.

Front end kept most of the Takeri styling though

I think it is just a patent for the front detail:

The portion shown by broken lines is for illustrative purposes
only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Good grief, how you get anything from a lined drawing is beyond me..

We all know the new 6 will be like the Takeri, like the CX-5 is the Minagi.

Hopefully we don't get stuck with a US supersized version.
