Its not much more than a concept picture and a little caption, but I thought I would bring it up to see what kinda debate it brought up. IMO it is a gay hatch thing with extreme lines, and I would hate to see it go into production.

no pics

are you talking about the mazda kabura? wich is roumored to be the next rx-7 though has a piston motor in it now? if thats the car , that car won 4 awards at the detroit auto show.



here is a write up on it,

i had read someplace that this if it goes into production will be rotary powered

is a write up also

Here it is scanned from the March issue of Motor Trend:

o ok the mini van lookin thing

that is fucked up looking

Ide hit it.

yea that ugly thing will get produced.

Id hide it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

At the bottom of that same page is the MX-3, which looks like that kabura thing you're talking about.

ya ever since ive put the v8 in my car, its an rx-9..

screw that POS

Craptastic.....nuff said

heads up boys

















this is what cars are going to look like from now on



weve just stepped into the generation of liking our "old boats" and hating new cars

Haha. Good observation. I still can't get used to the slab-sided styling of Cadillac, for instance. And what's with these giant chrome wheels on cars and even trucks? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif I think I'll go out to the garage and work on my '66 Chevy II and my '88 RX-7. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



FWIW, I actually like the lines of the new Mazda concepts. I just can't accept the funky seating arrangement in the Kabura.

I like the idea of having sliding doors on more than just mini vans.

It looks like it could be the next Pontiac Aztec

the kabura looks like an evolved rx-8. But that rx-9 doesnt look very appealing at all. Thumbs down!

I will keep my 1st gen and put lambo doors

jose13b,

That is really a beauty...........

that's what I thought when I saw the kabura

all of mazda's concept cars have sucked in styling. There cars that they do produce are pretty, i.e. mazdaspeed 6, rx-8

Haha damn that thing looks ackward. One thing I have noticed in my short time being "into" cars is that the concept cars tend to only look distantly similar to the production cars.

thanks

yeah, silver gsl-se is like my high school dream car, sorta. my friends still got it. ive got a silver one now too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
