When is Mazda going to launch a luxury division?
When is Mazda going to launch a luxury division?

They had huge expectations when they launched their "Amati" brand but got shoveled off in the mid 1990's.
en.wikipedia.org
>" The Amati marque was eventually scrapped before any cars were sold."
Logan Howard
The same guy.
Also I don't think they have any plans to build a luxury brand in the near future because there's no news of it anywhere.
Matthew Walker
>Amati
>Anagram of Miata
WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THUS
Jeremiah Green
Never
>have one real division, mazdaspeed
>cuckold them until 2021 for no real reason
They clearly want to focus on the main brand for the foreseeable future, who knows why
Hudson Jackson
People dont even want their upper-end sedans like the Mazda 6. The shit just ain't selling.
Pretty sure even Infiniti & Acura are struggling somewhat
Kevin Scott
They're the smallest "big name" automaker, they can't afford another brand
Parker Ross
Wasn't Eunos supposed to be their luxury brand?
Zachary Campbell
Acura was struggling with the last generation of cars but the TLX is selling like crazy right now.
Logan Harris
Why do brands always need a hundred divisions on the American market? Over here Mercedes are selling carpenter vans, offroad utility trucks, everyman compacts, sports cars and the world's most luxurious chauffeured sedan at the same time.
Landon Peterson
The 3 is what's cutting into the 6's sales.
To be fair, the 6 seems nice but kinda... one size fits all. Does it even have more than one engine choice?
Joseph Long
They do that here too.
Justin Price
>""""""""luxury"""""""" division
Camden Thompson
Merricunts are obsessed with money and status and want to feel speshul and better than their neighbors.
Grayson Russell
thats because Mercedes is already an established luxury brand. lesser perceived brands need to establish luxury divisions to justify the increase price tags.
Levi Parker
Mazda doesn't need one honestly.
Their top-trip vehicles look and feel pretty much like Acuras or a Lexus with a weak engine.
Isaiah Lewis
they already did
it was called ɛ̃fini
Cooper Clark
trim*

Lincoln Ward
I wish Subaru would
Connor Watson
They have said they plan on a luxury line. Also a rwd line.
You have no idea how business works
Currently it doesnt need another engine option
Youre not smart
Truth
Alexander Anderson
Subaru doesnt need one right now.
They need a normal engine
The best brands dont have a luxury line
Josiah Diaz

Cooper Gomez
>The best brands dont have a luxury line
What? Only ones that don't have a luxury brand are the germans.
Also Subaru has an engine, the H4-T is best in class.
Nolan Cruz
no car 'needs' engine options.
they are, however, a good selling feature, particularly for sedans which are being squeezed by the CUV market.
forgot to add, they have bad 'dealer penetration', you dont' see Mazda dealers outside of cities usually. Honda and Toyota do get rural dealerships here and there.
Jonathan Nguyen
No joke. The boxer isnt unique or better in some way. They have pretty poor reliability and are difficult to work on. Power output isnt that great. Mpg isnt good at all.
So why not I4?
Mason Myers
None of this made sense
Liam Russell
English is my third langwich and i'm 90% sure that post is understandable
Parker Adams
Suzuki
Matthew Powell
The new ones are great, I get 30+ MPG in my WRX
Carter Hughes

Ryan Wilson
Japanese luxury brands, only existed outside Japan, until a few years ago.
Leo Bailey
Maybach.
Also vag does this shit with their cars
VW = Seat = Skoda < Audi < Porsche = Bentley < Boogaadi
Camden Martin
Every review of the 6 reads "the i4 is good, but a V6 would be better!" and this is what normies who buy these cars new, look at.
Isaac Harris

25mpg combined and that's real world numbers. Telling you dude it's on point
William Jenkins
Youre not smart huh?
Ethan Martin
>25mpg combined
Thats not good
Lucas Russell
Maybach was a unnecessary DaimlerChrysler idea and was curbed after some years. Now it's just a trim for the S-Class.
Julian Lopez
For a turbo sporty 4 door? Your nuts
William Carter
And VW buy up brands and mostly retain them in their established markets, they don't invent new ones.
Liam Robinson
fuelly.com
Civic si is 28 combined and it's smaller and slower
Jacob Green
Yes, but most of them are basically the same outside of body panels and trim level.
Chase Brooks
This, plus
>yfw when Efini used to sell the the Citroen XM and Xantia
Jason Mitchell
Lexus didn't not exist as a brand in Japan until 2005.
Infiniti did not exist as a brand in Japan until 2013.
Acura still does not exist as a brand in Japan.
Logan Fisher
Probably never.
James Martinez
they're already having a tough time selling SkyActiv based vehicles. Besides that their new vehicles are nearing the Germans in quite a few ways.
Kevin Lewis
Youre stupid.
Go read
They arent having a tough time at all. Moron
Xavier Miller
A top of the line Accord is now more luxurious and has better fit and finish than 90% of BMW/Mercedes/Audi offerings. I don't see the point of Acura anymore if they're going to do shit like this.
Brayden Walker
He's right though.
Cooper Torres
it's S M O O T H
Grayson Jackson
Why even buy a sedan, ever?
If they sold the 6 wagon here (6 speed of course), I would've bought that instead of my 3 right away.
Juan Green
Which one?
No its not
Joshua Morales
A lot of those normies are older folks who grew up in the dark days of four-cylinder cars.
My mum equates four cylinders to the Pontiac Acadian with a whopping 74 horses at the crank, so I don't blame old people for going MUH V6.
Austin Miller
some people don't like the looks of wagons
some people don't like the higher road noise
some people bury hookers where they kill them and don't need that spacious rear to haul dead hoes with.
better question is why there are NO wagons available at all, here in NA, land of the big barge and spacious interiors. there has to be enough people around who'd buy one to justify say, a thousand 6 wagons being imported.
