Smile Boowana returns to NAIAS 2006.
Hello all. It's been a while since I posted here but wanted to let everyone know that three of us will be attending Press Days at the North American International Auto Show between Jan 9th - 11th. You may remember me covering the launch of the RX-8 there a couple of years ago and sending back pictures and information right form the show.
There is a slight chance we may see a new rotary concept.

In any event, we will post anything interesting on the site as soon as things are announced. I hope we won’t be disappointed.

Regards,
Brian

according to rotary news they have not made a firm commitment to NOT put a rotary in it . . . I still think that Mazda needs a "supercar" kind of car to draw the crowds and to compete with the skyline and next "supra" . . . maybe it will be based on this chassis . . .
