they're both cars:dunno:

No. No back seats. For the love of motoring fun, don't give us back seats. The 8 already has them. I want a 2 seater with hatch, and no more than 2500 lbs. I want a turbo option, and I'm willing to pay for it. Joe Average will keep buying your 8's, Joe Crazierthanbatshit will pay for more performance and less practicality.

Very exiciting news guys! Lets hope Mazda hits a home run with this one!

I'm more interested in what the engine is made of, aluminium, cast iron again? what exactly is the geometric difference, mainly in which directions are the increases going? You can guess all you what about the HP, but the new dimensions/materials is what i'm interested in.

wait so theres already an rx-9? is this new car really going to be named rx-7?

lol, for some reason I am feeling not more hp, but more torque and better milage

If They Mated...

Pretty obvious someone took the Kabura concept and Mazda6-ified it. Look at the foglights. Now, whether this was done as official Mazda business, or by an enterprising photoshopper... We'll have to wait 'til Tokyo to find out.

I like the direction this is going. The Kabura looks a little too Sci-Fi to me, but the Mazda6 is stunning. Here's hoping the final product of this 'flow' series is a 2 door, 4 seat hatch. :fingersx:

a 1980's 929 had a rotary version named RX-9

oooh i see...it would be odd if they brought back the RX-7 name. RX-10 maybe???

Me too, I think we will see a bigger rotor (greater diameter). As opposed to increased width. Increasing the width is probably impossible for the 1.6L, the exhaust ports right now could barely flow enough to support 1.3L at high rpm, therefore B geometry is outta the question.

What about 3 rotors, are we certain that 1.6L will be 2 rotors? I like the idea of thin and small rotors (times 3).

I think its about time for aluminium... Rotaries don't have the weight advantage anymore compared to other engines.

Looks like a hatchback from this angle, too:

That image looks really fake, though. And those wheels look to be ripped right off the Kabura.

And the last image for good measure:

The RX-7 was a hatch =)

it will be bigger in every sence of the word and it is a 2 rotor

right now I have comflicting info, my source ( the one that told me there was going to be a facelift for 2008 and a new rotary for 2010 over a year ago ) told me it is going to be a 1.5l another very important source told me the same, but the info on this threat and acording to a few other people it is a 1.6l :dunno:

Maybe its 1550ish cc... haha

I'm sure the Ren2 had a few different directions it could have gone in. Perhaps they even had seperate teams working on diferent solutions. Perhaps the 1.5l got the axe and the 1.6l got the go-ahead

my info is less than a week old

it made autoblog

and i was pretty sure on this one where it came from- because of the angle and cut off the bottom of the wheels

These couldn't possibly be official Mazda renderings. They would have tried harder. Kudos to whoever photoshopped these, though. I really like the lines of the headlights, foglights, and grill.

Do you guys think these images were composed by someone who'd actually seen the new concept vehicle? or a pic of it? Are those kinds of information leaks common? Or is this just a demonstration of creative forecasting by an auto magazine?

I say Smoke is being blown up my piehole till I see it at Tokyo. We've had to many false hopes for me to be doing a lil dance in my room singing songs of joy. The drawings are obviously photohacked and the article could of been written by any one of us since the rumors we spread here at times are very rampant be it from a good source or through wishful thinking. Be easy to compile all the ones that seem legit and put them together for a decent article. I dunno in a negitive mood atm but again till I see it in Tokyo or as SSX I'm calling bull.

Im sure Bern dint just take the article from a mag, im sure he use those images for a reason, he most have inside info,will the car look like this maybe, maybe not, I for one hope the car is a more finish version, closer to production

I don't think I've seen any statement either way about what the displacement will be. You probably know better than anyone else.:)
