That is basically a mazda3 that has been photoshopped. They most likely will not have an RX-7 for '07, and even IF the make another RX-7, it would most likely be a 2008/2009 model. But then they would have to kill off the RX-8, becase everyone would be buying RX-7's.

yes it is photochopped, duh, but mazda's are very similar in thier appearance...and they might just replace the rx8 with the 7, who knows, maybe they will keep the 8 for the people who cannot sacrifice the 2 back seats...

the rx8 is due for alittle "spice" soon... there have been almost no if any "facelifts" or anything in 2+ years

Well, mazda is developing a car called the Kabura....

Mazda KABURA
Mazda KABURA, a compact sports coupe, is a concept car designed at Mazda’s design center in California. KABURA is the third design concept vehicle from Mazda following Mazda SASSOU (designed at Mazda’s European Design Center) and Mazda SENKU (designed at Mazda’s Yokohama R&D Center near Tokyo), each reflecting the global influences that Mazda chief designers can draw from.

With a compact body, the Mazda KABURA sports coupe is a vehicle that combines the pleasures of sports car driving with functionality. With a rear-drive powertrain that elicits dynamic styling and a wide range of utilities on board, it was designed for first new car buyers who love to drive. KABURA is a concept car that embodies the highest elements of Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom ethos.

“KABURA” is a Japanese term taken from “Kabura-ya”, an arrow that makes a sound when fired and was used to signal the start of a battle. The “first arrow into battle” depicts Mazda’s spirit of pursuing unique and exciting ventures.

They wont bring back the 7. They have 3 generatoins of 7's there is no need for another one. If anything they will make a RX9. The sales for a rotary arnt high enough for them to make another one besides the 8. People dont know much about rotaries and are scaried to buy them. Hell go look at the back of any mazda dealership where the mechanics are and you will see more rx8's thena nything else back there. Some people cant even figure out how to unflood there own car.

Hey I'll take it if it's less than a RX-8 and has power/handling. I can't stand the Mazda3's (NO MORE STUPID 5-DOOR WAGONS PLEASE!!!!!)
