Hope my wife likes it. I will keep my 8 and buy this one for her. She will be due for a new one by the time this one comes out.

Verrry nice to see, all of a sudden, so much publicity on Mazda with this new design. I see a lot of what could be a next gen rx-8 in that white Kodo

Yes we know the red-line of the new 16X was going to be lower but we really love the high rpms.
I thought it looked like the next RX-8 when I saw it too. My fifth RX was a white 79' RX-7. I loved every thing about it but the 12A engine. After putting 120K miles on a RX-4 with a 13B it was hard to give up all that power. I think I will get White......

It looks much better in the video than it does in the images. I like it now, some how now it looks more of a luxury design than a run of the mill off the shelf. I still don't like the center console thing just to strange for me. I hope that design language does not resonate to the production vehicles. The other thing I would slightly change is the fog light or parking lights on the far corners of the front bumper, to much angular design thrown in with a lot of nice curves.

why? all they needed this car to do was drive around for promotional shots/video. they didnt even show the engine to anyone and didnt discuss it. they whole point was to lay out a new design theme, having any other engine in it would have had the journo's talking about the performance of this particular car which would not serve the intended purpose.

I really don't like this. It looks like they're trying way to hard to go with bold and futuristic approach to their new cars. Makes me scared for the next-gen RX-7's.

All they had to do is paint it lightning yellow.

Then you know it would be the new release of the production sports car.


Mu ha ha.........

Major flaw in the Shinari video!

Anyone notice that towards the end when they drift the blue one and drive it hard there is a shot of the tack/speedo and you can see how the needle moves when they rev the engine, yet the speedo remains at 5mph! What gives? Broken all ready?

Just wanted to point that out. (nothing better to do)

That's "5" th gear not "5" mph. Look at what it says under that "6.2 L/100km" so what is that in MPG? Where is that conversion chart?
