Future Mazda 6 & Mazda 2
Last Updated:
Just when you thought the Mazda 6 sedan and Mazda 2 compact hatchback were dead, a new illustration emerges.
For some reason, this illustration is not using any of the current Mazda design cues, which means it could be a bit old. The sedan does look more like a Toyota to me, as it resembles the Mirai. And the small hatchback looks like a Chinese car.
On top of that, I haven’t heard anything about a new Mazda 6 or Mazda 2. Unless they come back to life as EVs in the future, I really think these are pretty much dead. At least for a while.
Both the 6 and the 2 are still sold in Japan. I just watched a video this month on Mazda Hofu’s flexible manufacturing processes – so flexible, it can make 1 Mazda6 inserted into the line of CX5’s. I think they’ll continue to offer a sedan and my guess is it will be based on the next Camry hybrid/PHEV. Mazda is doing more than we’re aware of – and if you look at their stock, they’re paying dividends that are higher than GM, Toyota, Honda, Stellantis, etc… They’re doing OK. I hope they bring a Mazda6/6 Wagon back to The States.
Gee, Vince, I draw pictures of the bunny rabbits in my back yard. Let me know when there’s real Mazda news.
The greenhouse is the 2018 Hyundai Sonata’s.
