They should take some styling points from the DB8

It's an attempt to get more trunk space. I think it's dumb. It's also harder for short people to see out the back window. Most of those cars are FWD anyway = garbage.

I just read an awesome article in Road & Track, I think, about the RX-7...the FD in particular. It was basically saying to go out and buy one because you can't beat the performance for the going rate of $15K.
I would love to read this, does anyone know where to locate this article?



BTW- Mazda isn't going to disclose exclusive information about a car in 2007 to a Mazda sales manager at x-location. All rumors till we hear from Mazda.

the rx8 seems to be selling very well, I drove through the movie theater parking lot today and saw 4, just in the parking lot, not to mention the others driving around out on the street, and keep in mind, this is south mississippi, not quite where this type of car sells best.

Just go to Barnes and Noble or some kinda bookstore...it's on the last page.



As for RX-8s selling well, I sure hope they are! I don't know how we would see sales figures, or accurate ones at least...

This is a pic that I saw of the supposed new RX-7 in 2007(www.corksport.com

). It is all crap, but you all know that we would all love to see it happen. They should stay with the pop-up headlights though, the recessed ones from some FD's and the new 'Vette are ugly in my opinion.

Popups are illegal in europe, so no more popups.

I'm sure the sales figures are much higher here and in Austrailia/Japan.



Screw Europe.
