Are you sure you guys aren't confusing Mazda's idea of dropping a detuned renesis in the current Mazda3-converted RWD? I believe something similar to the old RX-3s?

I highly doubt they'd bring back the MX-3 while still trying to push the Mazda3. Unless, it's a replacement or they market the Mazda3 in some off-shot category.

Mazda KABURA, a compact sports coupe, is a concept car designed at Mazda's design center in California. KABURA is the third design concept vehicle from Mazda following Mazda SASSOU (designed at Mazda's European Design Center) and Mazda SENKU (designed at Mazda's Yokohama R&D Center near Tokyo), each reflecting the global influences that Mazda chief designers can draw from.

With a compact body, the Mazda KABURA sports coupe is a vehicle that combines the pleasures of sports car driving with functionality. With a rear-drive powertrain that elicits dynamic styling and a wide range of utilities on board, it was designed for first new car buyers who love to drive. KABURA is a concept car that embodies the highest elements of Mazda's Zoom-Zoom ethos.
"KABURA" is a Japanese term taken from "Kabura-ya", an arrow that makes a sound when fired and was used to signal the start of a battle. The "first arrow into battle" depicts Mazda's spirit of pursuing unique and exciting ventures.

Designed to be an inexpensive entry into the coupe market, the Kabura is clearly marketed at the younger “tuner” set. According to von Holzhausen, “it is still very much a concept, but one for which we have done our homework.” The MX-5 based Kabura will sport a 2.0-L DOHC I4 engine, putting out an impressive 190-hp. Later renditions may include the company’s signature rotary system, but only time will tell.

I hope to god they dont put a Rotery in it, those engines are crap... CRAP
Seriously, who wants some gas hogging POS of a engine that burns oil all the time while providing weak Torque?
Rotery engines are a bad idea
