    Smile MPS6 may return?

    I saw this on my internet travels, any 1 no anymore on this topic? Not too shabby looking but "Bring back the beastly bonnet!" And give it a real tail already, all the Mazda sports version of any of their cars only has a stupid lip, i want a real spoiler FFS!

    also http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring...mps-atenza.htm

    I like what some 1 did with imagination on this pic... i would prefer these doors and windows, also id like some real exhausts that are not just bumper extensions.

    Old articles... I'd like there to be a 6 and 2 MPS, but the truth is, those articles were wrong when they were published and are most definitely wrong after the WFC.

    Around the time of those articles there were a couple of press releases that suggested the MPS6 was not going to be made for 2 main reasons. 1) The sales figures for the current (last) model, and 2) The release of the US version to cover the 6 market over there. That added to the WFC, would put the likelihood of a new 6MPS at next to nil for atleast the next 2-3 years.

    Is there a real market for it?

    -Ralliart Colt
    -Fiesta XR4

    Mazda is a business, they don't make cars for the love of it. If they can't profit from the sales then they're not likely to waste the time or resources.

    Personally I think an MPS2 would be quite the little track day and motorkhana weapon.

    I see heaps of XR4's and those Suzuki Swift Sport things buzzing around.

    MPS6 will be dead in my view (unfortunately).
    Not enough historic sales, no offer of auto and the introduction of a new larger 6 in the US with a 3.7l 6 cyl from the CX9 would make hard for them to justify a MPS6 from a dollars approach.
