Saw this post and instantly thought of the new Toyota Supra! Toyota, who is one of the largest companies in the world, thinks it's too expensive to develop an all-new straight-six for the Supra. And here we have little Mazda, who can find a way to justify a naturally aspirated straight-six.
Also, it seems like this engine is for "large-architecture" cars, but can you even imagine what the Miata would be like with this engine? With a 2,700 lb convertible , ~250HP N/A straight-six, 6-speed manual, 7,000 RPM redline, and a starting price of just under $40K, Mazda could take my money no questions asked.

I changed from a Miata to an M Coupe. Primarily for the motor. Merge the two and I'd be perfectly content to go back to Mazda.
However my 2016 Mazda 3 had an absolutely horrible engine. Thing felt like a diesel, without the torque or efficiency. Hopefully they make this much better.
