Mazda6 Coupe and Cabriolet?

This will include the addition of two new models - a Coupe and Coupe Cabriolet, as well as a high performance model which will take the Mazdaspeed Atenza namesake.

The new models will be based on the sedan chassis, with the BMW 3-series squarely in its sights as a benchmark for both build quality and choice.

Comprising a sedan, wagon, cabriolet, coupe and high performance model, the new and improved Mazda6 range will mimic that of the BMW 3-series.

This contradicts earlier reports that the Mazdaspeed6 - or Mazda6 MPS as it is known in Australia - would not be continued into the next generation.

Mazda are also planning a high performance derivative of the highly successful Mazda2, which could possibly resemble the Mazdaspeed Demio concept revealed at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
