Though few details are available, it promises to be a sporting alternative in one of the most competitive automotive segments, vying with the impressive Honda Accord , Hyundai Sonata , Nissan Altima , and Toyota Camry . The Mazda6 will be powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the same 3.7-liter V-6 as used in the 2008 CX-9 , putting horsepower at about 273. Transmission choices will include a six-speed manual or five-speed Sport AT automatic with manual-shift mode (2.5-liter engine) or a six-speed Sport AT automatic with manual-shift mode (3.7-liter V6).
