2012 Mazda RX-7
 

Dont think this is a repost....at least its the first time I see these pics.

Looks kinda like a mix of a Mazda3 and a 370Z. It looks a bit too round for my tastes, I think they should go for more of a FD look.

Oh great, another BS rendering. The rear screams Z4

Just a chopped Kabura.

hmmm I just dont know

It looks like they put a roof on the rendering of the "New Miata" that was posted here about a week ago.
Yawn.....:sleep:

Eh....yeah, screams of Miata...

Looks lame, I wouldn't buy that shit.

i actually like it ... looks like the chevy ss concept from a few years back

And thats exactly why you should hate it,,,

I think it looks horrendous, there is very little on that harkens back to any sort of 7 lineage,,,

MX3 rear end... *gags*

hmmmm the more i look at it its kinda growing on me

The one thing that was nice about the FD is that it stood alone there wasnt any other vehicle that resembled it...They should either leave it alone or bring out a style based on the old FD style.....That is disgusting....

Its ok.. but remember what ever they show us first will be concept... remember the rx evolv? the rear looked like something from a mitsubishi eclipse

rx evolv isn't a rendering though its a real car ^_^

Im not a fan, It should keep the triangle in the hood though, and of course just look smaller... The FD looks smaller than this thing...

Looks fatty. Not very handsome compared to the pic of the FD.

But I watched something somewhere about how they couldn't make the old FD body style if they wanted due to new safety clearance regulations. I'm not sure if that is true, but either way, they should come up with something better than this.

It looks huge, and not all that appealing at this point. If there wasn't an FD picture, it might have been better i guess. It just doesn't look as sleek and slim as all of the other rx cars have been.

Here is the web page translated, or the best I can do.

Next-generation RX-7's rear lines should be with the current Mazda 3, Mazda 6 have a similar charm

New generation of turbocharged rotary engine

許多車迷都非常期待RX-7的再度復活，但新世代的RX-7似乎將會擁有與過去RX-7全然不同的外觀造型，在機械結構方面也將採用全新的設計；外觀方面將會採用與現行Mazda車系相同的特 徵，諸如大型的五點式水箱罩與輪廓分明的前後輪拱，車尾也將會採用與現行Mazda 3、Mazda 6等車款相似的造形設計，並且維持大型掀背尾門的設計。 Many fans are very much looking forward to the re-resurrection of RX-7, but the new generation RX-7 seems to be owned in the past RX-7 completely different appearance, in the mechanical structure also will adopt a new design; look side will will be used with the current Mazda cars the same characteristics, such as large-scale five-point grille and chiseled front and rear wheel arches, the rear will also be used with the current Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and other cars similar to shape the design, and maintain large hatchback tailgate design.

底盤將會採用與現行MX-5相似的機械結構，但針對細部與尺寸方面進行修改，引擎則會採用Mazda目前正積極開發的新世代渦輪增壓 轉子引擎，根據Mazda方面的消息指出，這具引擎目前正進入最終開發階段，新型的渦輪增壓轉子引擎的表現 實在讓人相當期待。 Chassis to be used with the current MX-5 similar to the mechanical structure, but some aspects of detail and size changes, the engine will be used Mazda is now actively developing a new generation of turbocharged rotary engine, according to Mazda in the news pointed out that a the engine is now entering the final stage of development, the new turbo-charged rotary engine's performance is really quite looking forward to people.

anyone think the back sorta looks like the new bmw x6

NICE! the article's in Chinese... the author thinks that the rebirth of the 7 won't curb Mazda's plans to cease production of the 8. (wonder what pipe he is smoking.)

we will be lucky if the 7 makes it to the States anyways- with congress and their green car initiatives road blocking a lotta things.

i also wonder if the rotary market is large enough to accomodate 2 sport rotary coupe offerings from Mazda. i don't think the sales numbers support that speculation.

but, we shall see in two years. i hope we get something spectacular one way or another.

i thought it was supposed to look like that ^^^^

I'd buy it if it looked like what i posted a pic of. Idk about the one in red. it doesnt give me the same vibes that the otehr rotary cars do. It looks like the hybrid FWD coupes that came from japan like the new CRX and such.

just build this:
