The all-new Mazda6, which celebrates its world premiere at the 2012 Moscow Motor Show, is the second of a new generation of Mazda vehicles which adopt the Japanese company’s full range of SKYACTIV technology and the ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language. Mazda has consistently strived to provide stylish, insightful and spirited cars and the new generation vehicles – the CX-5 compact SUV and new Mazda6 flagship model – deliver a high-quality, exhilarating driving experience, while offering outstanding environmental and safety performance.

Mazda's environmental technology development is directed by its Building Block Strategy which first calls for thorough improvements in already well established automotive technologies. The next step builds on these improvements with the sequential introduction of electric devices designed to improve fuel economy.

The first such device was the i-stop idling stop system introduced in 2009 with the Mazda3. The second device, which makes its first appearance on new Mazda6, is i-ELOOP – Mazda's unique brake energy regeneration system that begins charging a capacitor the moment the driver takes his foot off the accelerator.

Electricity stored in the capacitor can then be used to power electric components throughout the car. In freeing the engine from much of the duty of providing electricity to these components, more fuel energy goes directly to powering the car, resulting in further improvements in fuel economy. In addition, a variety of advanced active safety technologies have been adopted for new Mazda6. Read more.

Looks stellar. This and the Fusion, 2 mid sizers that make me smile by just looking at them.

Best Mazda design ever, closely followed by the last RX-7. No offense Rev.

It looks stunning. But, best design ever, BS? I'm calling BS on that.

He said best Mazda design, so I don't think thats too much of a stretch. Although in my nerdy way I still like the first gen Mazda6 and 3 the best.

Use shenanigans. I like that word better.


And another thing... do you see any capital letters in my screenname?? Huh?
Its bs, not BS.


Dammit, Rudi.
