Mazda North American Operations has delayed the launch of the MazdaSpeed6 from June until autumn because Mazda engineers are at their capacity limit.
The engineers are working on upcoming launches of the higher-volume MX-5 Miata convertible and Mazda5 small minivan. The MX-5 Miata redesign is slated to arrive in the United States in early August. The Mazda5 will debut in September.
The MazdaSpeed6 is a high-performance version of the Mazda6 sedan. It features a 270-hp, 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It also has all-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, six-speed manual transmission and sportier suspension and brakes. The price is $28,555, including destination charges.
