Sana yung mga strategists ng MPH will not do a Mazda 3 out of this Mazda 6 ... retain the current engine inside the new body

You forgot the overpricing part, but that just about sums it up.

Salarin yung mokong na nagdecide na JDM units yung kukunin, tapos ipepresyo ng mataas kasi feeling niya porket Jap brand eh pwede magdictate ng presyo. Feeling Honda.

Mazda's getting a little late with the Specs/Quality + Pricing > Brand wars.

Honda has been feeling this pinch recently with the underwhelming CRV and Civic but Mazda PH doesn't seem like it's learning.

Hyundai (and, as of late, Kia) has been on the (positive) receiving end of this, where it used to be the laughingstock among car importers but have gone on a tear since then.

Toyota seems to be semi immune to this since since their products, while not cutting edge, aren't the worst in terms of specs and don't carry the usual premium other greedier manufacturers feel obliged to tack on. (They have the specs/quality/pricing AND brand, though not exactly perfect)

in case MPH will retain the current engine and tranny for the new Kodo body, would sales of Mazda 6 suffer?

For the 1.6 variants, this holds true, since it was a disappointing engine to begin with. But the 2-liter 145 HP engine on the R variant is actually a good engine, and this time around they paired it with a good transmission. Really great to drive.

It's really the pricing that kills it.
