i think this is a repost, but good nonetheless. the article is, however, filled with type-o's in the print edition and honestly, speculative at best... lol
in the print edidtion they called the renesis, the "genesis" engine.
I really like it, but I think it looks more luxury/sporty than an actual sports car. It would be great if they made this AND a new rotary sports car, something about the same size as the FD.

That thing looks awfully big. If they are going to be south of 300hp to drastically improve the MPG, I'm guessing they may be able to get in the 250-275 range and with that , the car will definitely need to be under 3k lbs if they want to compete with similar cars. But then again, since when does Mazda want to compete with their competition anyway?

Well the '8 was definitely behind in fuel economy and straight line acceleration when new, but other models didn't have so much of a disparity. The Mx-5 has never really had a steady competitor (maybe the Solstice briefly). The Mazdaspeed 3 has certainly been on a similar level as the GTI and other such hatches. The Rx-7's were very close or even faster than the direct competition in a straight line.
As for it looking big... it's a picture on the internet, that doesn't really tell you much
