    The 2011 Mazda Atenza (Mazda6) is due to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and in addition to a slight nip and tuck, the JDM version of Mazda's mid-size sedan is packing an all-new 2.0-liter inline-four with direct injection.

    Although the styling tweaks are subtle, the new front fascia benefits from a mildly reworked grille, bumper and enlarged side air intakes, along with new 17- and 18-inch wheels and taillight housings. The interior remains largely the same, save new piano black trim on the center console, shift knob and door handles, and surrounding the audio and climate controls.

    Mazda remains mum on details about the direct-injected four pot, but don't be surprised to find the refreshed 2011 Mazda6 in dealers later this year, with the exception of the wagon, which remains a Japan-only proposition. Full details in the press release after the jump.

    You are correct Mel, the 6 does have a 2.5
    But the JDM model has 2.0, just like the JDM 3 has a 1.6

    JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

    I believe the main difference is the engine is now Direct Injection as opposed to port injection.

    It makes alot of sense for the JDM. Japanese fees, insurance, taxes and shakken (mandatory inspection) are based on engine capacity as well as size and age of the vehicle, so the smaller the engine, the less you pay. Also don't forget that alot of driving in Japan is urban.

    The direct injection engine should theoretically provide more power and fuel efficiency than a normal engine. I'm waiting until they release official engine performance figures.
