the Mazda 6 article is exciting because it speaks to Mazda as a whole continuing to push back and defying conventional wisdom. At Mazda's core they're a die hard group of dedicated engineers who just view problem solving differently.
they know they can get a diesel to work efficiently, they've been doing it for some time but now it's nice to see the leaders at the top (who control the $$) letting them pursue that.
I'm hoping we do see Diesels in the US in the near future. Yes, we can argue all day that SkyActiv-X will destroy the Diesel's benefits but that's assuming the X goes off without a hitch and you forget how crazy loyal some diesel fans are. Yes, they're a small percentage of the car buying population but they have money and with fewer passenger cars offered in diesel these days, Mazda can potentially capture portion of them by doubling down and having the 2.2D in the CX-5 and the Mazda 6.

Remember according to that Mazda timeline, there is a SkyActiv D Gen 2 in the pipeline circa 2019 onwards. So SkyActiv-X & SkyActiv D Gen 2 will be online
They aren't going to get SAD 2.0 out. They haven't even finished putting v1.0 out.
For NA perhaps. Rest of the world has had diesel CX-5s for years.They aren't going to get SAD 2.0 out. They haven't even finished putting v1.0 out.

It's already "perfect" Just your laws and regulations are the problem!
Mazda , the CX-5 and 6 were mentioned here. It’s worth noting that the Detroit Auto news is pretty conservative with their reporting and tend to steer away from rumors. In other words, if they are mentioning the two models, it must mean they have some solid info on them.
Diesel's last gasp? Don't believe it

I certainly don't think diesels are on the way out, and I really like what Mazda is doing with theirs. It's just very uninspiring when a large company (this isn't Ed's Hardware store...) absolutely falls on its face with delivery.
Rising oil levels. Shuddering. I dunno...
Re: diesel in NA.OK. Mazda might be a large company compared to other non car makers but within the car industry, they are not considered as large. That mantle belongs to Toyota, VW, GM, Ford and the like.
Mazda seem to deliver pretty well but as always could do better.
