Mazda has been pretty clear they want to move upmarket and I think an I6-powered sedan w RWD lines up with that push quite nicely.

Make it small and light and RWD, use an I6 with the same bolt pattern as a 13B-REW, put the engine mounts in the same place as a 4 rotor would end up, and let us live our dreams..

Will people complain if Toyota used a Mazda I6 instead of BMW's?
I think there are some growing partnerships here, the current north/south america yaris is the mazda2 made in mexico, the CX50 is built in a Toyota assembly plant in Alabama...
Just to be clear the plant in Alabama is a joint venture part owned by both companies not a Toyota plant.
It's being officially revealed tomorrow, but here are a few uncamouflaged advance photos from https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2024-mazda-cx-90-leak-reveals-its-body-in-great-detail-hours-before-the-official-launch-209476.html
Not a unique-looking vehicle at all, I'm sorry to say.
In reply to BoulderG :
Lovely shade of SUV red there too.
It was revealed today and I gotta say, I love this thing! I can totally see my wife upgrading to the CX70 (which is supposed to be a 2 row CX90) once she's done with her RAV4. The engine, the transmission, the upscale interior are a nice solid upgrade, assuming everything pans out.
