New RX7 and RX9!
New RX7 and RX9!
OK Rotorheads,,, This is what I heard today from my inside source.
2011 is the last model year for the RX8. Most of you have heard this already.
Well, today I heard from my reliable source what's coming from Mazda.
2012 new model RX7. 2 door and Convertible models. It will have the Renesis engine. Don't know of any modifications to the Renesis at this point.
And the 2012 RX9 with the 16X. This is going to be a 4 door version (not sure on the configuration) with the 16X. But I will have pics when it appears.
It will be offered in a Gasoline and a Diesel version.
Also a Mazdaspeed version of the MX5.
The Mazda2 will be out in 2011 with Gasoline 4 cyl. In 2012 it will be offered with a Gasoline and a Diesel version.
This is what is coming. You heard it here first.
Here is a pic of the Mazda2 I took today. First in the US!

When I saw the picture, I assumed it was a joke post before I read it. Still waiting to hear more official information before I get too excited.
If this is true, I hope more has been done with the renesis. Obviously it'd be a great car if they just put it in a lighter car with at least equal handling, but I'd still like to see a bit of improvement in some form or fashion.

Didn't mean to question you or your source, but a more official release means it's closer and will also probably provide a better estimation of what to expect from the car. Pretty much all we can assume for sure at this point is that the car will make no less power than the current renesis and should weight at least a little bit less.

well regardless my broke *** won't be able to afford one for a few years after they come out anyway....unless I hit the lottery or something major happens....ha ha. The 8 is the closest thing I'll have for quite a while.....and I'm ok with that. I wanna wait till they get the bugs out anyway

I know that as in the 2009 RX8 pic thread I posted a couple years ago.
I will have some pics when they have the new version on the road.
The clincher is they will have two models coming. RX7 and RX9. And my source is one of the first to get these new models for inspection and testing.
Why would you think that? The pic is of a Mazda2.
Nope.
The RX8 is a 4 door.

I know that... A lightweight 2 seater with a 16x sounds better than a 2seater with a renny... 
Maybe they'll both be offered with a 16x at one point, when the left-over renesis will end?
It really doesn't make sense having 2 rotary engines in production so i'm a bit disappointed!

My back still doesn't hurt so much, a 16x 2 seater would work its magic to my garage in a heartbeat
Jokes aside, a 2 seater without a decent bump in power would be just an overpriced miata in my book. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
I just happen to be going to my dealership this morning and will place my order. 
^ A 2-seater would save enough weight to be significant even at present power levels.
But also a 2nd chance at a MS Miata.... hmmmm...

I know that we will swap your official toy-car soon too so you're excused!
