When Mazda introduced the Shinari concept at the 2010 L.A. Auto Show way back in December, it signaled a strong directional change. The Shinary Concept was pretty sexy, it was more of a Lexus competitor than to the Altima and Camry. And it will go on sale this December with less of its show-car edge and as the 2012 Mazda6. But rumors said that the new Mazda6 will sport an unconventional 2.2-liter diesel having 310 lb-ft of torque and with a 40-plus mpg highway rating. The beast’s free-revving, 5200-rpm redline is especially new for diesels, but what Mazda really wanted was to emulate the true character of its gasoline-powered cars. So this twin-turbocharged diesel car may not be new to buyers who are familiar with Mazda’s quick-revving gas motors. Expect Mazda to offer a more elegant interior too. If Mazda can make all of these a success, they will make a good competition with the German Motors and Japanese Designs.
