Mazda says it is investigating the possibility of
adding all-wheel drive to the Mazda3 and new Mazda6 sold in the United States.
At the LA Auto Show, the carmaker lifted the veil on
the updated 6, complete with a stunning exterior design and turbocharged petrol
engine. During an interview with Car Advice at the show, Mazda North America
Operations president and chief executive, Masahiro Moro, said the brand is
investing all-wheel drive.
The pre-facelift Mazda6 has been sold in all-wheel
drive configuration in Japan and Europe and if the marque is serious about
capturing new customers in the U.S., it appears as if all-wheel drive is a
must.
