Mazda Takeri
The Takeri isn't a new car debut. It bowed last year in Tokyo, and instead of sitting under a sheet or hiding behind a wall, it was on full display for hours before Mazda's press conference. Still, New York marked the first time it was on US soil and that it was confirmed as a likely Mazda 6 successor to debut this fall. With sensual curves and a fuel-sipping set of technical advances that sit under the Skyactiv umbrella, it'll offer Mazda a fighting chance in the midsize family sedan market. We're hoping for the Skyactiv-D engine to also end up stateside, but that seems unlikely.All photos: Noah Devereaux/Wired
