azndoc · 12-28-2007, 12:21 PM

I like the front end.

But not a fan of the rear though.

muddafakka · 12-28-2007, 12:21 PM

Meh.

At least it's looking better than the RX-8...

Farzam · 12-28-2007, 12:21 PM

It doesn't appeal to me much

Nachtmensch · 12-28-2007, 12:23 PM

Thanks too.

not enough nasty.

*exitspeed* · 12-28-2007, 12:31 PM

I actually LOVE the look of it. The roof line looks low and so does the beltline. It's got very traditional RWD proportions. Long front short rear. I'm in love.

I wanna see it in white.

s13poop · 12-28-2007, 12:36 PM

i kinda like it

depending on which engine setup they choose i think it has great potential

Full-Lock · 12-28-2007, 12:36 PM

it looks pretty cool. definatly cooler than the ugly rx8
i like everything but the front

the things i like most are the front fender vents, exhaust, tailights, and sideskirts.

but the concept/rendering always looks a 100000 times better than the finished product..
so it will probably be less cool than this.

Wheels pushed out to the corners of the car = good.

punxva · 12-28-2007, 12:43 PM

but the question is wil they continue to ruin the rotary name by leaving it NA like the 8, after a long lineage of FI rotarys

HyperTek · 12-28-2007, 12:57 PM

pimpage! hope it gets gas millage otherwise might not be soo hot.. RX where never really hot sellers =(
by that time, that rumored rwd toyota sports coupe should be out, as well as other deals from hyandai and what not... its gonna be tough.

Absolutely. At the very least it is an improvement. Hopefully they keep it close to the same as the photograph.

drift freaq · 12-28-2007, 01:14 PM

Front looks like they stole it from Mercedes, rear looks like they stole it from Aston Martin. Overall better looking than the RX8 but still not really stirring me.

Ya Nissan bit the 911 a bit when they built the 350z but at least they left styling cues from the other Z's in it as well.
The RX9 will probably be another car that will grow on people after its initial release much like the 350z.
In the end though I still think Mazda's design zenith was the FD RX7 and the second gen Miata. Those cars stole lines from classic early sixties sports cars yet managed to evoke their own image at the same time.

*exitspeed* · 12-28-2007, 01:17 PM

Oh12 seems like a long ways away for this car to come out. I mean most cars see a 4-6 year life span and are usually based off of concepts from a year or TWO before hand. By the time 2012 rolls around this design will look dated.

2010 seems to me to be a better year to release it. I would think all these new RWD compacts should be out as 09 (Hyndai), 10(Nissan, Toyota), and the latest 11 models. If they release it in 12 the other cars are already going to see a mid cycle facelift.

jackjack · 12-28-2007, 01:20 PM

hmmmm........ it seems a g35 had sex with a crossfire. its ok i guess.

eastcoastS14 · 12-28-2007, 01:21 PM

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck PADDLE SHIFTERS!!!!! GAH SO GAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Rob's S14 · 12-28-2007, 01:43 PM

It definitely looks better than the 8. It's probably gonna be expensive though. I know the 8 had all kinds of maintenance problems, I wonder if that'll happen again.

Oh man here we go again. HELLO wake up!! Its the 21st century! Paddle shifters fucking rock when teamed with the right transmission. The New GTR shows this to be true. LOL

Oh ya and while we are on the subject of Gay, have you ever stopped to look at your sig?

Hooorahh! · 12-28-2007, 01:52 PM

side looks like a G35 and rear looks like that one potiac 2 seater .. ahhh its cool i guess

k's_silvia2.0 · 12-28-2007, 01:55 PM

Blah its no good.

SimpleSexy180 · 12-28-2007, 01:59 PM

wow, i love how the wheels look like 17x5

as for paddle shifters, weak, this isnt f1.

better hope all those cars with paddle shifting will have shops that can FIX/replace those 5-10 years after the car is made.

OptionZero · 12-28-2007, 02:08 PM

designing it for americans?

touring sensibilities?

fuck that

RX7 was all about lightweight balance more lightweight

there better be a stripper version

SochBAT · 12-28-2007, 03:00 PM

Mazda Kabura Concept a year or so back.

DreamN · 12-28-2007, 03:29 PM

Here's the proof that I know they're going to fuck this thing up:

"Mazda is engineering the RX-9 specifically for the American premium customer."

SimpleSexy180 · 12-28-2007, 03:52 PM

and as americans, we say we are tough but whats with all the bitch made actions we have been doing?

so im going to ASSUME a governor that limits to only 65 mph because well, we want to protect our citizens.

also, a system so complex impossible for tuning. We are protecting our citizens so no need to go any faster or add anything to the car.
