Third-generation Atenza (Mazda 6) will not have the Sport variant

Third-generation Mazda Atenza

Ever since the Mazda Atenza (known as the Mazda 6 for the global market) was launched in 2002, and then regenerated in 2008, the variants they offered were the sedan, the Sport Wagon, and the 5-door Sport variant. However, things have changed because for the upcoming third-generation Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6), the body style will offer has just been reduced to two body styles; Sedan and Sport Wagon.

The 5-door Sport variant has now been dropped, meaning that the third-generation model will never have the Sport model, the one that offer a manual transmission on it. That's seem to be sad that for the next model, no more 6-speed manual-laden Sport model is offered and what the hell? The hopes of having the very first Mazda model to come with the SKYACTIV-MT model has been dashed. When will Mazda offer the 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT for the Japanese market? No hope....

Currently, Mazda has three SKYACTIV models; the Demio, the Axela, and the CX-5.
