How do I contact Rotary News? I am a designer and would like to submit a shot of what the new Rx-7 may look like. It's based off the Taiki concept, which is what I think Mazda is going to use for the basis of the new RX-7. I don't think Mazda would base the new RX-7 off the RX-8 or Kabura. They are not masculine or progressive enough for a flagship sports car like the RX-7. Many people just want another 3rd gen equivalent. My take on the new RX-7 embodies the characteristics of the 3rd gen by making a substantial change to the Taiki rear cap and wheel arches. Please advise.

I was just wondering if anyone saw this story of the possibility of Mazda bringing back the RX-7 for the 2010 model year as told by Road and Track? There is an artists renditions of what the new RX-7 might look like. This might be very interesting if all is true...can't wait to find out more!

I saw a movie trailer for the new movie Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift the other day when I went to see X-men 3. Bigger than life is a customized FD3S in the movie. I actually like the stock looks of the FD3S better but I intend to see the movie just to enjoy a trick RX-7 in action. It is a shame that so few of these icons are still around here in the U.S.

I like my rotary, but a quick Kabura (even with a piston engine) would grab me.
I like the way the RX-8 drives & looks.
The Kabura styling is right on.
My old 91 RX-7 is my daily driver, but it's days are numbered.
For me, the hatchback is a big deal, not just for shopping. I can load 7 boards of 2x4-8 lumber with the hatch closed, or carry 4 spare wheels to an autocross. The next weekend I can take my wife on a day trip for some great seafood.

It seems like now there is a gap in the market for a quick affordable 2 seat hatch back.

[EDITORAL NOTE:] You probably got to this page from a google search. This isn't a story about the next generation RX-7, but a posting by some user a long time ago asking the question about the next RX-7. We feel that the Kabura has the best chance to being the next RX-7 (Or RX-3...) , see this story on the Kabura. If the Kabura does not become the next RX-7, the next earliest chance Mazda will show an RX-7 would be at the next Tokyo Autoshow in October 2007.

i dont think that using an rx-8 body for the rx-7 is acceptable...the rx-7 when in it first debut in 1993 in the states was totally awesome from the second gen rx-7..the third gen was a hit that mazda had designed as its own custom built design..the 3rd gen was not based on a porsche as was the 1st gen or any other car. rumors about the supra being based on a ferrari was found to be true and i thought it was revolting. the next gen rx-7 should have its own platform without any traces of an rx-8..it should be the sickest and wickedest looking and performing ride on the face of this earth and mazda can do it!
