News Car News briefs: Mazda delays MazdaSpeed6 until fall; Lambo Miura's 40th; 250-mph Chevy HHR? AUTOMOTIVE NEWS and AUTOWEEK Posted Date: 4/19/05 Mazda North American Operations has delayed the launch of the MazdaSpeed6 from June until autumn because Mazda engineers are at their capacity limit. The engineers are working on upcoming launches of the higher-volume MX-5 Miata convertible and Mazda5 small minivan. The MX-5 Miata redesign is slated to arrive in the United States in early August. The Mazda5 will debut in September. The MazdaSpeed6 is a high-performance version of the Mazda6 sedan. It features a 270-hp, 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It also has all-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, six-speed manual transmission and sportier suspension and brakes. The price is $28,555, including destination charges. |
Well, Mexico might be an option for the Mazda 6, since the Fusion is to be built there.

The car mags all said that the MazdaSpeed6 was going to be produced in Japan, not on the regular AAI line. Notice they said the shortage was on engineers not production capacity.

I guess I read it wrong. I assumed it was being made at AAI. :bang:
