New Mazda 6 here soon

Mazda has announced the production of the new generation 2014 Mazda 6, whose design elements will be strongly influenced by the Takeri concept car that's been kicking around for a few years now.

The new 6 will be the second of Mazda's next-generation vehicles to receive the full suite of Skyactiv technologies, and is expected to be released for sale during the first quarter of 2013.

A Mazda spoklesman said the all-new 2014 Mazda6 will be the latest Mazda to break out of its segment's monotonous mould and be fiercely competitive against the current sales leaders.

For North America, the 2014 Mazda6 will feature a Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre gasoline engine and be available with two transmissions, the six-speed manual and six-speed automatic. 

Best-in-class fuel economy also is targeted, as was achieved on the CX-5. Final specifications and pricing will be announced closer to the vehicle's sale date.

The global lineup of the all-new Mazda6 is expected to make its world debut at the upcoming 2012 Paris Motor Show in late September.
