Kabura
Would you buy a Kabura if it had a Rotary engine?
|
If they brought it in at 2500lbs I would be up for one. We need less weight not more power!
What I really want is a rotary powered Elise. |

Depends how it would perform....so basically how much it weighs
|
It is closer to reality now that Mazda has been demonstrating fwd rotaries (hydrogen Mazda 5)
A used elise is 38k. Hmm. :p |
if they give it 350+ hp, keep the weight down (2500-3000 lbs), get rid of all the gay, eclipse-looking plastic on the tail end, fixed the backend so it doesn't look so chopped-off (they could study the saturn sky), fixed the front so it doesn't look like a gay opel, and keep everything that's cool about the RX's, then YES. i would trade-in my 8 for one in a heartbeat.
|
I will...I'm ready...it will be my 8th rotary.
|
i'd buy it in a heartbeat!
|
I saw the Lotus Elise in MD. They aren't THAT expensive. Lots of things are optional but in the case of the Elise Less is more!

What I really want is a rotary powered Elise. The Kabura is supposed to be a $20k car. If they somehow squeezed a rotary into that price range I'd hate to see the compromises it would have elsewhere. |
The Kabura with a rotary would push off absolutely everything else on my (very small as it is) shortlist.

Just got my 8, so no not for at least 5 years
Besides the design of the Kabura looks too similar to the RX8. Mazda should really come up with something more original. Like what they did with the RX-8 Plus the price had to be right- i just don't see a $20K Rotary sports car as a possiblity. |
