Mazda MX-3?

Doing a Google search found this Wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_CX-9

the chart show the introduction of the CX-7 and CX-9 and also shows an MX-3 arriving at about the same time as the CX-9. Speculation?

yes thats why i put "speculation?" but the cx info is correct perhaps the mx-3 is also? or the person who wrote it could simply be extrapolating a production car based on the Kabura...

That's what CAR magazine writes too : RWD, MX-5 engines, affordable. In short, my next purchase in 3 years time.

It would be nice, but it appears Mazda is leaning towards the Turbo 4 cylinder from the MS6 and now in the MS3 as well. They are relatively inexpensive, and fuel efficient engines.

Whatever comes in the car that Mazda will almost definitely produce, based upon the Kabura, will not be turbocharged; at least not initially. Their intention is to have a market breaker like the MX5 miata was. Something very fresh and unique with an emphasis on affordability. This car would be an introduction to Mazda sports cars aimed especially at the younger crowd: 'Scion customers'.

They are going to bring back the mx-3 in 08??? I hope not! I used to own a red 93, and it was such a piece of ****. The only thing I liked about it was how smooth the shifting was.
But as an overall car very disapointing...

A Kabura-based car would be great. On my buy list for sure. Saw it in Detroit - wonderful car.

MAZDA - GO FOR IT !!!!

PS I4 as base - Turbo as option - 12b Rotary perhaps
