mass production tooling has its limitations.
sharper Takeri from the looks of it, is expensive to mass produce and probably will fail in crash test due to its sharp corners.

meron ng bang update from MPH kung SkyActive yung engine or current engine ang gagamitin sa local Mazda 6?

Its a great looking car but the problem is the target market prefers a VIP style than a sporty mid size. Look at the previous 6 its good looking, but didn't made a dent in the sales of the camry.

camry and accord still rule the mid sedan segment

Kung may I-stop + I-eloop system ang ilalabas nila i'll sign in for one. The current Accord is just plain trash, too much road noise for a supposedly executive car.

For sure naka skyactiv engine and tranny yan. it is designed in that philosophy from ground up. same as cx5, wala naman na-develop na regular engines/tranny for cx5 and 6. kaya naman ang mazda 3 walang skyactiv kasi retrofit lang sa kanya yun. sa US optional engine nga lang sya eh. same as with Mazda 2. pero for sure next gen, puro skyactiv engine na sila lahat.

To add to this, the CX-5 and the new 6 employ additional "SkyActiv" technologies such as 4-2-1 headers, lightweight construction, improved tranny options, and though not really part of the SkyActiv suite, the KODO design language.

The 3 has a SkyActiv engine in other markets, but still uses the old C platform that it shares with the Focus, as well as 4-1 headers (not the 4-2-1 more suited to what Mazda is going for in its SkyActiv Philosophy).
