I don't get how people can actually fall for these BS articles and renders. Last year I had friends telling me a new RX7 was coming out blah blah blah after they saw an autoblog article containing pictures from a similar japanese magazine.

Like almost all concepts, the real car will either not look like that, or not be created at all.

That said, the car looks cool and all in a showroom, I would look stupid driving it, and people would accuse me of having a tiny member.

Why is it that people still think that it's going to be called an RX-7? I mean i can't imagine that they would actually go back one number, that kinda defeats the purpose of their 40 years of naming lol. I think RX-9 actually sounds good. Maybe we'll get the RX-X eventually

A lightweight two seater with better handling and power than the 8. If they don't deliver that it's time for me to move on.

they've already gone backwards.

Wow they did a good job with the render i actually thought it was a real picture. I also thought it was real for a bit because I thought it was a guys head partially above the white car in the background. But now I see if you focus on the lower grille of the car you can see that the paint just isn't quite right. All and all and interesting rendering hopefully will lead to something starting with R and ending in 7.

I personally feel they should use what people are calling the rx-9 as there new design. It actually has a mazda feel to it. or at least a production feeling style to it. These are renders though based on a concept =/.




Rear end kinda has a mazda6 feel to it.

I have always liked this concept. Mazda insiders in JP are still sticking to the 2012 release timeline. New RX-7 or RX-9, whatever it's goona be called...Mazda is showing in there 2015 projections that there will be atleast 2 rotary based vehicles in their line up.

Mazda is calling whatever they are working on the "New" RX-7. It's just the working title like in new movies...I'm sure in the spring of 2012, when advertising is expected to ramp up, it will be called something completely different.

Yeah, that's the one I like. It's my desktop image. Far superior to the black one that looks more like an Audi.

That looks like a cross between the current RX-8 and the last iteration of the RX-7, which is a good thing. I'd buy it, provided it has the 16X.
