Next Gen RX7?
#52
There's a concept called the nagare going to be unveiled at LA - looks like a coupe from the teaser pic - but they make no mention of it pointing to any new Rx7/9 - which is a good a reason as any why thats what it may be I suppose!

Mazda Motor Corporation announced the global reveal of an all-new concept car, Mazda NagaRE (pronounced na-gah-reh), at the Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show. The press conference is scheduled at 4:05 PM on November 29, 2006. Last year, Mazda had a one-two-three punch with the Sassou, Senku, and Kabura concept cars. The Nagare is the first indication of Mazda's future design direction. Mazda is very tight lipped about this car, but be sure that RotaryNews.com will bring you coverage of this concept, and other items at the LA and Detroit Autoshows.
From this little glimpse, it appears to be a continuation of the Senku from the 2005 Tokyo Autoshow.
According to Mazda's newly appointed global design director, Laurens van den Acker, Nagare sums up the future of Mazda design in one deceptively simple word -Flow. "Nagare is a celebration of proportions and surface language that will evolve into subsequent designs planned for presentation at future international auto shows. Nagare examines light and shadow, and begins to reveal the global design cues for the next generation of Mazda vehicles."
Franz Von Holzhausen, Director of Design for Mazda North American Operations, who headed the Nagare design team in Irvine, Calif., describes Nagare as an evolving expression of Zoom-Zoom: "Inspired by the movement of nature's elements, our designers have captured motion, energy and lightness, translating into a beautiful language of lines and forms that are powerful yet effortless, provocative yet strikingly seductive."
And there's much more to come, too, as Mazda continues to evolve flow through future models. For now, Mazda enthusiasts can experience Nagare as an indication of Mazda Design's confident step in a new direction.
Other vehicles on display at the Show include the recently launched Mazda CX-7 crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-9 three-row, seven-passenger SUV, which arrives in North American Mazda dealerships in early 2007, and the brilliantly designed Mazda MX-5 Miata Power Retractable Hard Top.
