Looks kinda like a mix of a Mazda3 and a 370Z. It looks a bit too round for my tastes, I think they should go for more of a FD look.

It looks like they put a roof on the rendering of the "New Miata" that was posted here about a week ago.
Yawn.....

And thats exactly why you should hate it,,,

I think it looks horrendous, there is very little on that harkens back to any sort of 7 lineage,,,

The one thing that was nice about the FD is that it stood alone there wasnt any other vehicle that resembled it...They should either leave it alone or bring out a style based on the old FD style.....That is disgusting....

Im not a fan, It should keep the triangle in the hood though, and of course just look smaller... The FD looks smaller than this thing...

Looks fatty. Not very handsome compared to the pic of the FD.

But I watched something somewhere about how they couldn't make the old FD body style if they wanted due to new safety clearance regulations. I'm not sure if that is true, but either way, they should come up with something better than this.

It looks huge, and not all that appealing at this point. If there wasn't an FD picture, it might have been better i guess. It just doesn't look as sleek and slim as all of the other rx cars have been.

Here is the web page translated, or the best I can do.




will be powered by turbocharged engine, the rotor with a new appearance design ●

國外預估推出時程=2012年第四季 Foreign estimates range = launch the fourth quarter of 2012

自從Mazda於1978年推出第一代RX-7以來,RX-7向來是日系跑車的代表之一,輕量而敏銳的特性讓許多人對此一車款給與極高的評價,然而自從第三 代RX-7(FD)於2002年停產,Mazda打算以RX-8取代過去RX-7的地位,但很顯然RX-8特立獨行的設計並不能完全取代RX-7的地位;而Mazda在發現此一事實後,便著手於開發新一代RX-7的計畫。 Since the launch of Mazda in 1978, the first-generation RX-7 has been, RX-7 has been a representative of the Japanese sports car, lightweight and sensitive nature of this many people to give a high evaluation of models, however, since the third generation RX-7 (FD) in 2002, discontinued, Mazda intends to replace the RX-8's position over the last RX-7, but it is clear that the design of RX-8 maverick can not completely replace the RX-7's status; and Mazda in the discovered this fact after they started on the development of next-generation RX-7 plans.


Next-generation RX-7's rear lines should be with the current Mazda 3, Mazda 6 have a similar charm

New generation of turbocharged rotary engine

許多車迷都非常期待RX-7的再度復活,但新世代的RX-7似乎將會擁有與過去RX-7全然不同的外觀造型,在機械結構方面也將採用全新的設計;外觀方面將會採用與現行Mazda車系相同的特 徵,諸如大型的五點式水箱罩與輪廓分明的前後輪拱,車尾也將會採用與現行Mazda 3、Mazda 6等車款相似的造形設計,並且維持大型掀背尾門的設計。 Many fans are very much looking forward to the re-resurrection of RX-7, but the new generation RX-7 seems to be owned in the past RX-7 completely different appearance, in the mechanical structure also will adopt a new design; look side will will be used with the current Mazda cars the same characteristics, such as large-scale five-point grille and chiseled front and rear wheel arches, the rear will also be used with the current Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and other cars similar to shape the design, and maintain large hatchback tailgate design.

底盤將會採用與現行MX-5相似的機械結構,但針對細部與尺寸方面進行修改,引擎則會採用Mazda目前正積極開發的新世代渦輪增壓 轉子引擎,根據Mazda方面的消息指出,這具引擎目前正進入最終開發階段,新型的渦輪增壓轉子引擎的表現 實在讓人相當期待。 Chassis to be used with the current MX-5 similar to the mechanical structure, but some aspects of detail and size changes, the engine will be used Mazda is now actively developing a new generation of turbocharged rotary engine, according to Mazda in the news pointed out that a the engine is now entering the final stage of development, the new turbo-charged rotary engine's performance is really quite looking forward to people.

雖說目前此車仍在概念階段,但根據非官方消息指出,新世代的RX-7將會在本次的東京車展中展出,屆時我們將可一睹新車的風貌。 Although the car is currently still in concept stage, but according to unofficial sources said that the new generation RX-7 will be in the times displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show, when we will be able to see the new car style. 另外,RX-8似乎並不會因為新款RX-7的出現而停產,目前Mazda方面正在歐洲測試2011年式的小改款RX-8。 In addition, RX-8 does not seem to the new RX-7 because of the emergence of stop production, Mazda currently being tested in Europe in 2011-style facelift RX-8. 劉建宏 Chien-Hung Liu

NICE! the article's in Chinese... the author thinks that the rebirth of the 7 won't curb Mazda's plans to cease production of the 8. (wonder what pipe he is smoking.)

we will be lucky if the 7 makes it to the States anyways- with congress and their green car initiatives road blocking a lotta things.

i also wonder if the rotary market is large enough to accomodate 2 sport rotary coupe offerings from Mazda. i don't think the sales numbers support that speculation.

but, we shall see in two years. i hope we get something spectacular one way or another.

i thought it was supposed to look like that ^^^^

I'd buy it if it looked like what i posted a pic of. Idk about the one in red. it doesnt give me the same vibes that the otehr rotary cars do. It looks like the hybrid FWD coupes that came from japan like the new CRX and such.
