But not exactly what most of you are thinking or hoping for but something i think is really cool any way (RG will not be happy
)
Mazda will be showing a new version of the Mazda5 hybrid/hydrogen rotary powered vehicle at this years Tokyo Motor show. besides the much greener version of the Rotary the Mazda5 will also be using the industries first all plant derived bio fabric seats and also will use bioplastics for the interior trims like the dashboard.
The biofabric/bioplastic/hybrid/hydrogen Mazda5 is production ready and will begin leasing in 2008.

^ Me too. I can't seem to take my eyes off them whenever I see them. They're so pleasant in concept, especially for an urbanite.
Off topic, but it's a minivan shootout!

Zoom, any more info? Now for my ignorant question: Is this hydrogen & electric in the sense of a hydrogen fuel cell? Or hydrogen fuel like the previous hydrogen RX-8?

BTW that is pretty cool about the mazda 5 but shouldnt they change the name from mazda 5 to RX-V?

Aw thats a bummer, kinda, cause i liked the idea of a new rx-8 but i was still hoping for the date of 2010-2011 cause that is when my 8 will be paid off (or almost paid off)

I don't think they'll show the "new 7" at SS X. If anything, they'll sneak in the facelifted RX-8
