Well with the arrival and sales of the new GTR, and talk of Honda realeasing a new NSX, there has been much interest in a new RX7. I would really like to see a new Rx7 which delivers a revolutionary styling and concept, and hopeful set a new benchmark, as the FD did in 1992. Even now, the FD has lines and interesting curves that give the car a almost post-modern feel when in its presence. In my opinion many cars have yet caught up with this modern styling.
Mazda has not announced anything about a new Rx7, but with the previous models being so popular coupled with the release of the new GTR/NSX, Mazda will probably look at creating a car to compete with these major players as it has done in the past.
I would personally like to see a car created that utilises another form of energy to give its power. I feel if Mazda want to build a truely unique sports car, a gas guzzling twin turbo shouldnt be used. The new GTR, while quick, i feel that the engine just reuses old technology and brings nothing truely new. In an effort to compete with European markets, it has built a European style car, with somewhat bland looks. Nothing really amazing. I hope that Mazda will be able to change this, and bring once again, some of the excitement that Japanese cars had in the past. Keeping it rotary of course!
Heres some photos from the Tokyo Motor Show earlier this year, where a rx7 prototype was displayed. I really like the interior, and the car maintains some great futuristic lines, much more exciting than the GTR. Heres some pics.
