if they give it 350+ hp, keep the weight down (2500-3000 lbs), get rid of all the gay, eclipse-looking plastic on the tail end, fixed the backend so it doesn't look so chopped-off (they could study the saturn sky), fixed the front so it doesn't look like a gay opel, and keep everything that's cool about the RX's, then YES. i would trade-in my 8 for one in a heartbeat.
If they brought it in at 2500lbs I would be up for one. We need less weight not more power!
What I really want is a rotary powered Elise.
I don't want a tiny roadster. I want more power -- not less weight. The 8 is as small as I want to go.
The Kabura is supposed to be a $20k car. If they somehow squeezed a rotary into that price range I'd hate to see the compromises it would have elsewhere.

You're not looking for a Kabura/RX-3, you're looking for an RX-7. At ~20K, I highly doubt you are getting a 350hp rotary.

some what agree with you, I dont want to go smaller, a 30 hp more 200lbs ligther rx-8 be perfect, I dont need 4 doors and dont need back seats.
there's allready a very cheap rx-8 for sale in japan with the 4 port engine and the 5 spped manual it is close to $22,000( I think is less dont remember very well), they can make a rotary kabura for $20,000

Just got my 8, so no not for at least 5 years
Besides the design of the Kabura looks too similar to the RX8. Mazda should really come up with something more original. Like what they did with the RX-8
Plus the price had to be right- i just don't see a $20K Rotary sports car as a possiblity.
