Mazda 7 - Will Mazda build a bigger sedan than the 6?

Given Mazda seems to be filling every niche in it's SUV range, will they ever build a bigger sedan or wagon than the 6? Say, a 7?

Probably not, sadly.

The slower-than-anticipated sales of the Mazda6 series over the past decade, combined with Mazda's hesitation to replace the existing, nine-year-old model, suggests that there is not a larger sedan in the pipeline.

However, with Mazda marching upmarket and its ties with Toyota strengthening, a joint-venture project with Toyota or even Lexus, using Mazda's new rear-drive platform and inline six-cylinder engine range, may make a model-sharing premium flagship – like a Mazda7 or even Mazda9 – a possibility.

But please don't hold your breath on this one because it is merely conjecture on our behalf.
