Uhhh, I got bad news for you fam…..

Last I looked they were going to give it a rear wheel drive and push it upscale to try and compete with Audi A4 and BMW 3? Did the plan change. I now need to learn Japanese and make a couple calls.
level 2
I thought they were skipping the 2022 and coming back new with 2023?
level 2
The paint and body have held up remarkably well for a car I purchased in October of 2015. I don't abuse it, but I don't exactly pamper it either. Just drive through car washes about once a month and a wax job yearly. 84,000 miles and it's time for the first brake job finally.

The tires though...New Orleans roads have done me wrong there. This is the third set.

We still have the mazda 6 in Saudi Arabia.
And I don’t think they will be canceling them.
If the 2023 version drops, do you guys want me to show you guys how it looks?
level 2
If y'all get a preview, absolutely!
level 1
Love it. Got the 2020 and the interior, exterior and quality of the ride are top notch for its value. The 2.5l turbo is fun, but I'm constantly looking for a v6 twin turbo awd release. Hoping it will be 2023
level 1
2023 will look like “unaffordable”
level 2
That's the thing about the 6. When I bought my 2016, the base model was $17,900 or close and the top end was almost $35,000. At the time a base BMW 3 was about $33,500 and it was comparable with the top of the line.

Probably nothing that Mazda6 enthusiasts didn't already know. RWD, inline 6, likely with an 8-speed auto and available AWD, Skyactiv-X. "Mazda's planning documents tell us at least some of the inline-six applications will feature electrification to reduce carbon emissions."
Targeting the same market segment as Mercedes C-class and BMW's 3-series [~$40K MSRP]
level 1
Best looking in that segment by a long shot

In Europe we have Peugeot 508 which is nice too. But besides that... It gets thin.

2021 was the last year they made them in the US.
level 1
Agree, beautiful car, design, practically and efficiency. Sad most people are drawn to cheap Camrys and accords just because of a perceived reliability which might have been true 10-20 years ago.
level 2
I am sure read that they have no plans to bring it state side at all
level 1
I still drive a first gen 6 with 153k km :]

What!? I'm doing my best to keep mine alive and running well, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered getting a new one.
level 2
Start looking for 2020 & 2021 previous Leased vehicles next year, cause they will be your best bet for a replacement.
level 1
They are beautiful cars my 2018 after a good wash and wax looks better then most luxury cars.
level 1
Looks like the value of it went up a lot because of it though
level 1
Wait, they're discontinuing it? I thought it was sticking around, just not on the new RWD platform.
RIP.
level 2
I think only europe will get it. Really hope they revert on the i6 rwd idea. Could really compete with the overpriced bmw s
level 1
I love how they look and drive but man the base engine is gutless. Not to mention the turbo is wasted on the 6 speed transmission. I had a 2018 accord 2.0t and that thing was as fun if not more fun to drive than the 6. But in terms of refinement the 6 beats it.
level 2
I agree there, but I'd still take 6 over a CVT engine personally.
