    Hey guys. I have a 2008 Mazda6 and it was about a week to two weeks ago the a/c stopped blowing cold air, even on the coldest where it's supposed to be freezing, and a whirring noise popped up.

    The Next Mazda6 to go four cylinder only....!

    Beneath the gorgeous and impossibly long looking hood of the Mazda Takeri Concept lies plenty of real estate. By our estimation there's room for any number of powerplants, from a high-revving rotary to a twin-turbo V6. However, when Mazda launches the new 2014 Mazda6, which will ape the looks of...
