I am hoping for the diesel version too. These are three models of Euro I can think of by the time it's released here: Euro standard, Euro luxury and Euro diesel. I don't think the wagon version will make it here. If Subaru launched its new boxel turbodiesel engine for Liberty range by following suit that has been done by current Mazda 6 diesel then new Euro should follow suit too.

And one thing that I like in Euro, they still retained the 6 speed manual transmission! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Hopefully it will make its way to Australia

I think with the power increase to 147kw is to pay off the additional kerb weight of new Euro, looking from the looks...it look certainly bigger and heavier for sure. So I think the performance if not the same will be only slightly better.

If I still loyal to my current Euro for the next few years I might be trading for the facelifted version of the new Euro. I don't want to trade my current Euro yet...it still drives excellent.

Perhaps it might be time for you to update your Euro to a new one, don't you think aaron? ;)

Mazda looks better in that shot IMO but will have to wait and see final specs for what we end up with to decide. But jeez, talk about shared design language - compare the flanks of those two cars, they're almost identical.

Yeah it looks like Toyota tried to copy the flared front guards of the RX8 to the new Camry, and now Honda have copied the Camry's design, and the Mazda 6 copied the wedge style sides of the Euro. Whats a bet the new Maxima will share a similar design lol

Had a good read of the options for the new euro,and let's just say the 6 cannot compare.

The car looks awesome, my old man would be interested in purchasing one if the wagon came with the i-DTEC diesel engine ...

Overall it looks good. Only thing that needs improving is the rear end tail lights and 3/4 angle. Apart from that looks good :thumbsup:

I've been waiting to upgrade my 03 Euro and now seeing the new Euro I don't think I'll upgrade to another Euro unfortunately. Compared to the Mazda 6 and the Mondeo XR5 it looks a little plain IMO.

As far as i understand, it will be another year before we see it here yeah?If so, it would sux..

From the side angle, middle to front looks might hot..

Nah, my 1st priority now is property. Not going to waste money on cars, especially since my 04 Euro is still considered new. Unless of course it is an FD2R. LOL

Really? That's good then, because I still prefer the base Euro in that pic over the sports 6. Imagine how the Euro Sports would look like. :p
