幹他媽!
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.

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.

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.
