Works for me...
|
It looks like a two door R3 RX-8... I'll probably buy one in the second model year in the US. The first model year is always plagued with problems and has no aftermarket support, the second model year is generally a sweet spot with early adopters offering support and working out the initial bugs. I really hope they have a turbocharged option for the car though... I don't feel like waiting the 5+ years its taken for the RX-8 for a reliable FI solution. Even a low boost turbo option would do wonders for the car's popularity among the tuning crowd.
|
Cool... except I wish they would tone down the "grin" look a tad.
|
If it's a 2-seater and has the 16X I'm in. ;)
|
It look like happy pokemon. RX7 happy happy.
Me likey. |
It looks okay to me, except they could tone down the humongus grin. I wonder what the interior or rear end might look like.
|
looks good if it has the 16x count me in
|
The Tokyo show is in October, so I think this is another case of "It's in a Japanese mag so it's gotta be true".
As much as I liked the Nagare stuff, it's time for an actual preview of a production car, not something they want to do in 20 years. |
The front just looks like a photoshopped R3 RX8.
|
Just another photochop. There is a lot of different "sources" generating photochops though which makes me wonder if there could be some truth to another rotary car being released in a couple of years. Is this just a bunch of false hope or is there some truth to these rumors and these "sources" are getting some inside info?
|
I'm saving up for a new car anyway, maybe this will be it. I'm not getting my hopes up though...

Only says they are 55% confirmed for its showing, so I doubt this is gonna be seen till maybe late 2010?

If I could count how many articles said the 7 will be released on this year and here is a concept of it..." I'd run out of appendages. |
if they do procede with its production. will the continue the 8 making the 7 the two door performance with plenty of track time car and the 8 the 2+2 family friendly weekend track car.
|
I will take one
|
Looks sharp even if its a photochop. Wonder if Mazda will go back to 2 seats only.
|
I'll wait till after production before I get excited.

oh man, now all i see in it is the giant salamander!!!!

If they build it they will have to a have a direct injected engine just meet emissions standards. Hopefully its the 16X, but I hope it doesn't bring the car into the 40K price range. I'll also be waiting to buy a used '13 ;)
|
Not to take away from the 8, but anyone notice the blue toyota supra looking car below the the lexus supercar?
That could be intresting. If that comes back Mazda will have to bring an FI to the party to retain it's share of the performance market. |
