2012 Mazda Rx9

[DVSRX-7]

who here thinks this will actually make it to production?.... looks nice wonder if it really is going to come out... post comments and opinions

[cartune]

front kinda look like a mazda 6, taillights look like a bmw taillights. so assuming its a 2 seater?

[1439/2000]

Lokks more FDish which is good. The first picture is obviously an FD photoshop. The door handles and canopy are the same.

[EJ25RUN]

All those pics are speculation and have no credit to them.

To get the best hint, you'd have to look at what Mazda concepts currently look like. I'm thinking the next Japanese motor show is where the RX9 will be revealed.

[Brut]

reminds me of the cosmo

[Oz10]

The top pic looks alright. But the rest of them look even uglier than the rx8!

[DVSRX-7]

what EJ said.. these pics are not the finished product... jus a glimpse of what it can look like

[EJ25RUN]

Here's another one of the speculation pics

16inch rotors = WIN! :D

[SPOOLIN]

i don't understand why they don't just leave names alone and continue advancing the body design and engines while keeping the same name, RX7.

Simple. They better not put another wankle engine in that shit unless its gotta a nice turbo on it. .

[SloWRX]

i'd rock it

[Boosted FC]

Old article. Might not even happen.

REPOST, I think i posted this stuff a year ago?

[ATLGt]

Real question is can they get the direct inject down on the Rotary? If they can do that, than the emissions will be lower and possibly be able to turbo it. That was one of the killers of the RX7 in the US in 96. They switched to the OBD II emission standards.
Second, why would you choose a convertible in a handling car? Added weight and probably losing the 50/50 the RX models have been known for. I know they had them pre-FD.

[wanggsticky]

i hope its not going to be a disappointment again, like how the rx8 was

[TTaz02]

...

[DVSRX-7]

lol ^^... true but the oil leak from the motor should cover that part... and well the rx8 should be called a mistake even though i like it..

[amandDA]

it looks ok... but i dont kno sh!t about mazdas so... its whatever

[bandydesign]

I guarantee you if they make this car, it will NOT look like the first picture you posted. That was some random speculative photoshop artist combining the old RX-7 and a mazda 6 front end(or 3 idk). I do not doubt that it will look similar to the following set of pictures. That is not an unrealistic concept car. In fact it varies little in styling terms from the RX-8. It looks to me like they want to make a hatch-back-esque RX-8. lol, whatever happens it will not satisfy my wants nor replace the epic car we knew as the RX-7.

[clean CD5]

i seriously doubt they will produce it! it would be nice, but nothi can top the 3rd gen FD! point blank!

I don't agree with you sir, I would say a Cosmo trumps an FD. Just my opinion though... 20bFTMFW

[EJ25RUN]

So you are saying that an overweight chassis could compare with the best Japanese chassis from the 1990's?

A 20b can easily swap into a FD so just cause you want more rotors isn't an issue.

To give you an idea, i'm seeing this as comparing an S2000 to a SC430.

Another worthless winding wonder.

[kfzemx3]

lol I only say this cause I'm not that impressed with the FD as everyone else is, its a phenominal car don't get me wrong. I probably say this cause we have one in the garage, but for over all interior, look, power i like the cosmo better.

[Dwisforme05]

it better not look like that first pic. that pic looks like a japanese version of the new camaro.

[87 Turbo II]

I hate how dumb some people in this webforum are in regards to this engine. To those of you educated, thank you.

And the Rx-8 wasn't a failure, or a dissappintment if you knew what the hell it was for. It was never an Rx-7 replacement, you're just assuming with the name. Come on people, look at how Mazda uses their naming system. Would you expect this Mazda 5:

To be a replacement for the Mazda3?

I will once you leave this site.

[TTNSX]

they could definately top the 3rd gen FD, they're just gonna have to really think it out. I say 20B non-turbo that motha lova. big turbo + rotors = god awful fast for 20k miles. I seriously doubt Mazda wants another hit like they took with the FD.

20B = fail emissions. Won't happen in the US.

[TTNSX]

You don't think with all the dev. people working at mazda, they could come up with a 3 rotor that would pass emissions...come on, I'm not talking about slapping a 20 year old powerplant in a 2012 model car. for all I know, they can make one that runs on poo, and the emissions are farts.

[DieselNuts]

It'll be awesome as long as they don't put a rotary in it...

[87 Turbo II]

It'll be awesome as long as they don't put a rotary in it...
I disagree, also it would kind of not be an Rx-series car if they did that, rather just a new sports car.

i agree the cosmo is still one of mazdas best cars to me..waaay ahead of its time.

LS2_KID: why dont you just stfu bro... i dont have to leave any site other than the site of your bitch ass always talkin shit.. i told you man i like your motor but i would rather just have mine because of its uniqueness.. so why do you still bother?

and for anyone that is against any RX model being recreated or made go to hell.. seriously.. mustangs are gay, camaro's are gay, gto's are gay, challengers are gay, CORVETTE'S ARE FUCKING GAY...

i bet you guys dont like comments like that right? exactly what i thought.. if you think any rotary powered car is gay then seriously you guys dont appreciate peoples dreams and hobbies.. so if you dont like what i have said or am going to say then tell your moms to suck my dick.. you guys think rotaries are garbage just because of how some stupid asses blew them up 10,000 miles after buying it from the factory and didnt realize what they really had in hand.. but anyways for the people that can realize that something new is good or can be good then thanks for that.. for the othe just gtfo..

You bet I don't like those comments? Wrong, I could careless what you say since you never give any real information about why you don't like them or what is wrong with them. Maybe if you weren't a complete dumbass/tool I wouldn't hate on you? I have nothing against rotary motors, I have nothing against OPEN MINDED car owners. I actually do like some FC's and their owners as well with the FD. You on the other hand are a completely different breed. In my eyes you are nothing but a poser 240sx want to be drifter. Also for the comments such as "tell your moms to suck my dick", they show us all how civil and mature you really are. Sometime it is ok to make these remarks if you have some what of a good "relationship" with the person.

If you want my real opinion on this car, I see it as a fail. It will not sell many units and will not perform as well as the FC or FD (comparing them to the time that they were released.

[DVSRX-7]

how am i a poser drifter? when have i said i drift my car to become a drifter? i drift my car just so i can know the cars limits and so i can learn to handle my car.. so how am i by anyway or form a poser? i dont fuckin take my car to a track or anything.. i dont run my car for shit.. so hows that? and bro just leave everything alone i rather not argue with anyone and have enemies.. so seriously disregard my previous comments.. thanks

Cuteness on a stick? I will knife a bitch

^^ lol what?

[93EG6LS]

looks good! id rock it.

lol, I agree with you. I was just saying that to piss off the OP :D looks like it worked too.

Mustangs are gay huh...lol, real mature guy you are. My cobra makes more torque and horsepower in 2 cylinders than you make with your all mighty rotary. God, I cant stand fan boys...
