True, but not on the signature trim. I don't think you'll see this engine in the lower trims.
You can here on the top spec Azami trim

Again. Mazda corporate didn't dictate that decision for Australia.
Not entirely but we do have to run it by them just like we are trying to get CX-8 here and Mazda HQ has the final say/approval

I'm not so sure. I'd think those in charge of regional markets know their customer better than Mazda HQ.
Mazda should be underpromising/overdelivering versus their record of doing the opposite- maybe this is the start of a new trend
(iagree)
Yes but HQ still has input

Alright. I give up. You always have to have the last word. If I'm wrong I'll happily say so.
Later.
Later.
Not having the last word. Just providing my opinion.
I apologise if you see it this way.
As I said before, I am more than happy to be wrong and Mazda release the 2018 Mazda 6 2.5T with AWD.
Have a nice day.

There's plenty of demand for CX-5 as it is. They're trying to make 6 more attractive in order to sell more to meet CAFE requirements and even out production. As for 2.5T in CX-3, that just too weird for words!
Ofcourse Mazda HQ have to give the final approval after the Region makes their case for their own market. The regional HQ has to make the request first for something that is already there in other markets. So if AWD is actually available in other markets, you need to hope your regional HQ request and put up a good case for it unless those model variant features are strictly standard for all regions.
You want weird, get them to drop it in the Mazda 2! (lol)
Fair points
200-300 monthly sales here of the 6 doesn't bode well for AWD coming here
Unless AWD is standard for the range-topping 2.5T worldwide
but who knows. Australia usually gets decent features in their models. There are actually many differing variants in different markets. For example in Malaysia, they have the CX-5 2.5L in FWD only whereas all CX-5 2.5L in Australia are AWD. Would be interesting to know the performance and fuel consumption specs of the CX-5 2.5L FWD.Unless AWD is standard for the range-topping 2.5T worldwide
Agreed with your points and yes would be nice to know for comparisons sake

The CX-5 caters to a different set of buyers hence which is why the 2L engine is offered in that car as the base engine.
The Mazda 6 base engine in North America is the 2.5, and it will be getting the 2.5T as it’s upgraded motor for 2018. Different type of buyers wanting more Power.
But in all honesty, the CX-5 needs the added turbo grunt more so then the adeuqately powered Mazda 6.

Sorry bro. Been sick since Monday, and I drove 700 miles home the first day of it. Didn't mean to get testy. My brain is a bit fried.
