New Mazda 6 come ！Gets a new name in China

FAW-Mazda are set to launch the new Mazda6 in early 2009, but the previous generation Mazda6 will continue with production, giving Mazda a two Mazda6 line up in the PRC. Mazda announced today that the new Mazda6, or the Atenza, will be named theRui Yi( 睿翼) for the domestic Chinese market,Rui Yiroughly translates to Prestigous Wing in English.

The Mazda Rui Yi will go on the market in early 2009, with a 2.5l engine priced at over 200,000rmb.

The older Mazda6 will appeal to consumers who require a good sized car at a reasonable price, where as the newRui Yiwill appeal to those who require a luxury sedan.

China Car Times is unsure if the newRui Yiwill come in wagon, or sports hatch form. as did the current Mazda6.

新马自达六更名上市，但老旧的动力系统将拖住它的后腿。睿翼也将仅仅成为官方宣传中的名字，终端销售仍将老老实实地叫它“新马6”。
