Just as we told you back in June (see here), Mazda officially announced that it will introduce the second generation Mazda6 (known as the Mazda Atenza in Japan) at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The Japanese carmaker avoided releasing any details but it’s no secret that the Mazda6 is based on the new Ford Mondeo / S-MAX platform. The engine line-up is expected to include 4-cylinder (diesel and petrol) and V6 units. Design-wise, the new “6’s” fascia looks like an evolution of the new Mazda2 but that’s about all we can say about the Mazda6’s styling. The new mid-size sedan will go on sale in Europe this November with US sales following early 2008.
