Finally, An Rx7 Concept That Looks Good.
#25
I think that if there ever is another generation of RX-7 it should not have a boxy body style. It should be rolling / sleek, leave the wannabe spaceship crap for Celicas and the like. I'm also agreeing with no pop-ups not being a true RX-7...

About RX-8 sales, acording to Mazda's sal;es numbers they are smack on selling about 30,000 a year like they originally said they wanted. Dunno why they state it's selling low.

See, that's great corporate thinking, The RX-8 didn't sell well, especially after we lied about the hp, and won't take care of it, so to punish them more, we won't make an RX-7 either....
Sean....
Sean....
I went to test drive an 8. And of course I loved so we are talking numbers. To cut to the chase; The best deal they could cut me was 488* 60 months on a LEASE!!! Do the math! That is more than buying the car!!! I was furious and insulted. So I asked the guy, "You want me to pay 29K for this car over the next 5 years and then still owe 14K! Why when I can buy the car for less?" And to clarify matters my credit is pristine no no no I mean squeaky ******* clean. I have a beacon score of 680 and 690! I get pissed of all over again just thinking about it. Then to make matters MO BETTER. I get a sales flyer the day after I got my seven for a 300 a month lease for 60 months... This was less than a month later. FOK FORD MAN!!!
