10 bucks says the real thing looks nothing like that..

Anyone have a side shot?

You have to admit it's right down your line.

I was hoping for something more agressive.. they peaked on the last gen IMO

Oh, found this blurb from Road and Track about it. Seems like it might be a while

As for the RX-7, R&T's inside sources say that due to slowing sales of the RX-8, the engineers at Mazda are hard at work improving the 13B rotary's output. If (when?) the new RX-7 debuts, it will be powered by this new and improved Renesis, supposedly sporting an electrically assisted supercharger, much like the one found on the RX-8 Hybrid that debuted in Tokyo in 2003.

Additionally, the rumored RX-7 will grab styling cues from the Kabura concept (pictured) that was unveiled at Detroit in 2006 and will be built on the platform that underpins the MX-5/RX-8. Whether or not the next gen. 7 will come in a 2+2 configuration remains to be seen, but regardless, don't expect anything until the end of the decade.

They've been out of the game too long. I remember they hype when the RX8 was coming out, and then it was a different car then everyone expected.

I think when they do bring out the new 7 it's going to be something pretty heavy duty

It sure as hell better not be!!!

How can you compare that to this?

Either I had bad sushi or I just zoomzoomed in my pants

And so did Mazda

Lol

Heard a rumour that it's coming out earlier then expected... Still hope it doesn't look like that though

AZNPWR · 06-25-2007, 11:04 AM

Wow, that thing is beyond ugly.. what are then thinking?

Nice comparison Rage.. there is no comparison

rick2 · 06-26-2007, 02:54 AM

its just a design concept... where they throw everything including the kitchen sink at the first design just to see what works and what doesn't... if you look at the overall basic lines/shape of the car, its very similar to the FD... once they calm it down and refine it (if they do) I bet it will pretty right up.

The shape has potential I think... tho I really can't see mazda thinking it makes business sense to make the 6, the 7 and the 8 all at the same time... sicne they'd each be stealing for each other's business from one angle or another...

the 6 is a hit success, and probably wont be going away anytime soon, and the 8 is holding its own... and slated to be in production in its current form until approx 2008-2009... have hear rumours of a redesign of the 8 for 2010/2011... sounds most likely to me that something based loosely off of the child of that concept car to be the restyling of the 8 around that time...
