New RX-7 for 2006!

[Glenn Butcher]

Hi all,

Found this in a mag. here, I have the mag. but no scanner at the moment.  See the bottom right pic.

Gotta say it looks pretty nice, not sure about the front of it - but it does have an FD look about it.

240kW also from a 1.5litre rotary.



I\'ll scan it as soon as I can.

They\'ll have a hard time making it prettier...

[g11ary]

unless they model it on you my love.

[Archbish]

Ahhh, sweetie - but they should make it smooth and sleek, like you dearest...!!

[g11ary]

so with my sleek lines you your star spangled manlyness, we have a winner.

The new
sleek RXbish

hi there G11ary m8,

Am i right in saying your brother is getting an RX-8 (hopefully i\'m not thinking of someone else, or this will sound stupid)..

But here\'s a rather trick bonnet...

[g11ary]

if ever it arrives, yes.
was on phone to them today, quoting oct.

:rollin  lol he should get an mx-5

anyone else get abuse for the rx-7 being a hairdressers car?

i hope they release the new rx-7 in 2006, and i hope its all it will be expected to be, by then i should have a good enough job to get one new:cool :cool  i cant wait

:mad: yeah I always have to explain to people that an RX-7 is not a MX-5 :p

Just from seeing that small picture of the 4th Gen RX-7 has got me saving the pennies already!

I want to see more concept art of it!

Awaiting those scans...

I think we are going to have the same problem with the FD and RX-8!!!

As long as it looks substantially different I won\'t mind too much - I hope the 4th Gen RX-7 concept doesn\'t get watered down too much!

Well as I\'ve just got my FD3 and am keeping my MX-5, which has a very similar power/weight ratio (as it\'s 208 BHP), guess I better confess that I might need the roof to protect my perm :o

[sadgoth]

well yes, had an Mx5 got grief about it being a bit hairdresser-esk :mad: Got TII \'a real man\'s car\':D  got told yesterday it is a hairdresser/ponce/80\'s throwback Don Jonson car :reallymad what can u do?  Although m8 who made the comment does drive a 96 Mondeo and has a Fiat X19 rotting in his drive so nuf said!:rollin   Any TII owners out there ever been compared to Knight Rider ??  happens a lot here! :cool could be worse could be the pink rolls off Thunderbirds I suppose!:wave

Not bad, sure after a bit of drawing board time it could be spectacular. And if its similarly weighted to the FD 320 ponies should make it hall quite nicely indeed

Come on RX8, secure the blood line!!

[sadgoth]

Read recently that Mazda\'s official line is there will not be a RX7 successor, think it was in Autocar or Autoexpress, but if there isn\'t a new 7 then the next best thing would be a more serious RX8 (Turbo, harder sprung, etc - may as well make a 4th gen!)
