Quote from: No-san on February 21, 2018, 03:40:26 pmWhen I saw it at the auto show, I was curious to see if the rumours about AWD would possibly be true. I got down on my hands and knees and checked under the car, only to be bested by those smart folks at Mazda - the undercarriage was covered by a felt material (clearly not going to be in the production car).I was positive that the secretive layering meant that AWD hardware was under there, but I'm surprised to see the announcement being devoid of same. That's pretty sh!tty.The interior did look quite nice, but even with the fancy materials it's not worth $39,000 loaded. Shame - AWD really could have made it an alternative to a 3-series or a G70 .I wonder if they put the felt material there to avoid any drips from messing up the carpet of MTCC.

Wait, I thought Mazda 6 NA 2.5 would still have a 6-speed option. Sounds a bit odd for Mazda to take the manual option out.
They went from manual in all trims to no manual at all.
We all missed this one, Cadillac ATS/ATS-V manual.https://abbotsford.craigslist.ca/ctd/d/2017-cadillac-ats/6463610205.htmlSweet baby Jesus 464 HP twin turbo V6. Only dual zone auto climate though, not as luxurious as a 2016 Buick Envision Premium II, but luxurious enough.

But why is a brand new car being sold on Craigslist Anyway... Could Mazda ever bring back the 'Speed6? Shouldn't take a bunch of effort to turn the wick up on that 2.5T ... and put a manual in it... I know.. I live in a fantasy land...

I know.. I live in a fantasy land...As someone was has owned a speed6 since it was new, I would love to see a revised model. I still love my car, but the body is, starting to rust and it is time to look for something new. (i know, it is a mazda... but what 10 yr old cars in Ottawa don't show rust after 10 winters without rust proofing?)A modern speed6 would be amazing if priced right.

They seem too large, too heavy and I just don't like the look. That said, I've never driven one, so maybe they are a blast to drive.

A Honda Civic has more functional room inside.I think you guys forget how small the first generation Mazda 6 was. It's comparable to a new Audi A3 for space inside. The new Civic would be bigger inside than the first generation Mazda 6.
