A mini RX-8 along the lines of the MX-3 - that's the tantalizing description of a car Mazda will unveil at the North American International Auto Show in January.

Journalists at this week's Tokyo event were given a sneak preview of the vehicle, in the form of a grainy sketch that appeared on a presentation screen for a few seconds. Little official information is available. However, company insiders have hinted the two-seater concept points the way to a production model that will hit showrooms around 2008.

The newcomer is being designed and developed by Mazda North America, based in Irvine, Calif. "It's an exciting continuation of the Mazda DNA with an understanding of the market place and what it wants," said director Franz von Holzhausen.
