That's hot.I don't consider the Gen 4 OB to be a wagon any more - it is too bloated and tall. I'll never buy one..... This is a wagon. I just hope it makes it to the USA:
I agree John, but I bought the Gen 4 OB because it doesn't look like a wagon. Nothing against those that drive them and love them, but a wagon isn't what I wanted.I don't consider the Gen 4 OB to be a wagon any more - it is too bloated and tall. I'll never buy one..... This is a wagon. I just hope it makes it to the USA:
Don't hold your breath waitin'. The original US Mazda6 was offered inThis is a wagon. I just hope it makes it to the USA:
Maybe, maybe not. There is talk of a MazdaSpeed 6 AWD, and the rev happy diesel is coming here for sure, maybe with a six speed stick. The Wagon is in limbo (for us) for now....the "Zoom Zoom" has zoomed away,Looby
It is none of the above, since Mazda hasn't offered AWD in a 6 since the Speed6 sedan of a few years ago..... and that one was "FWD most of the time, add RWD as needed during slippage". They have NEVER offered AWD in a wagon of any size, only in their crossovers.What type of AWD is that curvy Mazda station wagon running? All time or the rear wheel assist?
I believe the American CAFE standards ( stupid government ) is the reason why we are going to see less and less choices as far as V6's go. Toyota is dropping the V6 in the RAV 4, Mazda dropped the v6 from the Mazda6 and we will see other V6s going bye bye. I think it will only be a matter of time before Subaru drops the 3.6H from the lineup. Heck even Honda is discontinuing the Element because they can't find a way to up the MPG. Kinda sad seeing what's going on.Don't hold your breath waitin'. The original US Mazda6 was offered in
three body styles -- sedan, hatchback, wagon -- but 'Muricans weren't
buying, so the hatchback and wagon were dropped from the line after
only a year or two. (Same story with the 6's predecessor, the 626.)
I love Mazdas. But I traded-in my high-mileage Mazda6s V6 hatchback
for the OB -- because Mazda stopped offering manual transmissions
in anything except the lowest trim level (meaning no moonroof, etc.).
For 2014, they've also dropped the V6 engine option from the Mazda6
line -- and still no manual tranny, except in the base trim stripper.

The only commercial I know of is this one from last summer:Actually the Mazda 6 Wagon is in the recent commercial in the USA so it is coming here
I think Subarus saving grace with the H6 is it's low sales volume and cross compatability. It doesn't take much for them to make it fit into an H4 car and the sales volume is so low compared to the higher MPG H4 that it truly isn't much of a hit on the CAFE.I believe the American CAFE standards ( stupid government ) is the reason why we are going to see less and less choices as far as V6's go.
