Mazda6 Diesel - oh yeah
This is really tempting (though it’s probably false economy, too) — I was watching the Australian Motorshow webcast and Doug Dickson announced the new Mazda6 diesel with Mazda’s award winning MZR-CD engine. Now that’s what I’m talking about.
There’s still no information on the Mazda Australia website but all going by the extensive press release from March this year on Autoweb the diesel cars will only come with the new 6-speed manual. There are apparently 2 versions of the engine one with lower power rating and one higher. Both are quoted as having the same Co2 emmissions and fuel economy. Overseas the diesels are available in the sedan, hatch and wagon body styles. I’m not sure which we’ll get but I’m guessing we won’t get all three (six counting engine variations) which is a shame because I could really dig a high-power 6-speed diesel Mazda6 wagon.
Dear Mr Dickson — please approve the wagon. Please!
