At the end of the month at the Tokyo Motor Show, and later at the Detroit North American International Auto Show, an all-new midsize sedan concept from Mazda will be on display. It's called the Takeri, and it's got the soul of a MAZDA6 with a fierce grill, a sleekly sculpted body, and a domed hood over, what we can only guess, is a powerful engine.

When it debuts, the first thing you'll notice is that it's similar to some very popular luxury sedans currently on the market. That said, it is a very nice looking car that embodies the fierceness of the current model MAZDA6 .

It's not a MAZDA6, however. The Mazda lineup is, in fact, gaining a new midsize sedan. And it seems that the Takeri concept is the direction the automaker is headed with their sedan lineup. We won't have much else to share about this exciting new ride as of yet, but we're sure that after it's debut in Tokyo, the internet will be abuzz with all of the latest specs and performance information.
