    Mazda 8 - Could Mazda build a Commodore or Statesman-sized sedan?

    Mazda Mazda Advice Holden Holden Advice Holden Commodore Holden Commodore Advice Holden Statesman Holden Statesman Advice

    We know Mazda is about to offer a straight six engine, but could they also put it in a sedan bigger than the 6 and give owners of the last Aussie Holdens something to replace them with?

    The short answer is no, as the Mazda6 has never sold to expectations and all the action in the luxury sphere is in SUVs or crossovers.

    However, with Mazda heading into the premium space and in model-sharing activities with arch-rival Toyota, a 6-style sedan based on the mooted coming, rear-drive and inline six-cylinder powered CX-5 replacement is expected, possibly to be shared with a Toyota or Lexus model. These are pure rumours right now, but a possible scenario as Mazda attempts to amortise the development and engineering costs of its next-generation architectures.

    But we don't believe a sedan or wagon larger than a Mazda6 would be part of these future plans – not in the foreseeable future, anyway.
