for the new Mazda 9, I taught of using the DEW platform or the Aussie Falcon platform for an RWD sedan in Mazda line-up, then the Aussie Ford inline-6 DOHC might be used for a Mazdaspeed 9.

Also for the Mazda 3, I suggest to add a 3-door hatchback as well as a convertible

Then Mazda should also bring the European Mazda 2 based on the Ford Fiesta in Canada.

I heard once of a Mazda plans for a luxury division called Amati they wanted to launch in the 1990's but the project was cancelled. Except one of the 2 cars planned became the Millenia while the other one was a V12 project, maybe we could dust-off this V12 concept and update it for Lincoln, it could be a perfect future Continental.
