    Default Should Mazda produce a new AWD MPS?

    With the decision to not produce a next generation MPS6, and also the decision to not make the new MPS3 available with AWD, Mazda enthusiasts have been left without an AWD option.

    Lets make this a global effort and invite all the Mazda enthusiasts we know to cast their vote in this poll to let Mazda know there is genuine demand for an AWD MPS.

    Yes to both, this way the development cost of the AWD components can be shared across two models.

    Across all makes too ....Volvo

    I think the only reason is weight to be honest.

    Japan already get AWD in their base model 3 as option

    I think Mazda need to develop the brand MPS more....like HSV and FPV etc...

    Release 2, 3, 6, RX-8 and maybe the CX-7 for the hot head SUV owners.

    Happy Motoring

    Just the 6, I think the 3 is a great performer as it is and AWD would just get in the way of fun times.

    I'd buy one as they are now if it weren't for their crappy gearboxes.

    New 6 for sure, a AWD MPS 3 would be nice but it would only be a STi competitor, the FWD should still exist.

    A 2 MPS would be awesome, but i dont think a turbo would be the way to go, most of its target customers would be worried about associated insurance issues. But a bigger more powerful motor would be good. Fit the 2ltr from the 3, compete against the Fiesta XR4 and the now gone Barina SRi.
    A VW polo GTi competitor 2MPS with a small turbo would be the best, but the bigger motor more realistic (unless its to heavy)

    Bigger motor is 2 <2.0L donk> would also give a bigger field as *P* plate drivers could purchase and drive them...

    Turbo will narrow down the market.....but would be an awesome competitor if they marketed it right.

    The Corsa VXR had a 1.6L Turbo and made about 130Kw
