Even though Ford has sold it's majority stake off in Mazda, the two have said they will continue to cooperate on platform and engine development. Co-developing cars like the new Mondeo and Mazda 6 can only be a good thing IMO.
Could Mazda make use of the FG platform to sell a premium RWD large car in the Japanese domestic market and Europe? (and Korea and China perhaps) Obviously such a car would not use the Falcon's engines - it would more than likely use one of the DI Duratech V6's and probably a turbo diesel, and it would have front and rear sheetmetal and an interior that was unique to Mazda, but the Falcon's chassis and passenger cell and front and rear suspension would stay the same. Kind of like a new-age Mazda 929, or a Mazda 9 if you will :1syellow1 Yeah or nah? |
