I don't know how well they'd actually sell.. small sporty coupes tend to have great sales for a few years, then taper off dramatically.. but if it's based on an already developed platform (MX-5), the incremental sales should more than make up the relatively low investment. And I'd be a very happy camper! I have wanted a Kabura ever since I saw the concept.

I like the new design direction Mazda is using at least on their concept cars. Their current line up is slightly ugly. I also want a twin turbo RX-7. Hopefully Mazda will listen and build these cars.

There were three generations of the RX-7 after all. Each an evolution of the next, while still the same conceptually.

I like the current direction of Mazda styling- sort of like the Kinetic design that Ford of Europe has going right now.

RX-7! RX-7! I've owned 2 of them in the past, and I would love the chance to own a third. Why don't they give us a new monster to play with? A Renisis with a couple of turbos would be music to my ears. On another note, what's a "fixed-rough"? Is that anything like a fixed roof? Seriously, how old are the writers at Leftlanenews? RX-7! RX-7! RX-7!

Its good to see that coming to life.. I want the RX-7 back but I can deal with the RX-8, its a nice car just needs a turbocharger.

As for anyone else, performance isn't everything, and the Miata is still a favorite over the Solstice, Sky and any other in its segment because it's beautifully balanced and chuckable.
