Ford and Mazda share a bunch of cars, yet only Ford has interest in producing hybrid versions of these cars for some reason. Can anyone explain to me why Mazda can't simply borrow technology from Ford? Is it cost? Will Ford not share? Unless I'm missing something, Mazda is just being their stubborn old silly selves. They just like to do their own thing (think Rotary!).

It's a little ironic that Mazda is resisting hybridization, considering they have a leg up on most competitors who don't even have hybrid models yet.. and since the Mazda6 shares the Ford Fusion platform, it could easily use its Hybrid driveline!

Completely agree. Look at how mazda has been waffling over the last 3 months. In march they swore that diesel was the future. Since then it's been backpedal, backpedal. @Borat, I’ve been hoping for diesel m5 this year; oh, well.

I htink not. Bring on the diesels. It’s obvious that car companies are being bullied into building hybrids.Do you think Mazda, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. suddenly had a change of heart? I htink not.
