I got a good laugh out of it when I saw they speculated 300hp to be in the MX3 originally.

If you half close your eyes and look at the tailights I see sort of a resemblance from the back...not much else thoughInodoro Pereyra wrote:Wow... I'd love to know who wrote that it looks like the MX-6, so I can refer him to a good oculist...![]()

I can actually imagine a 16X, 6 speed MX-3. That is, if Mazda ever finishes developing it...wytbishop wrote:Can you imagine a 20B-REW MX-3?

I wish they would just go ahead and make another coupe hatchback and reuse the MX-3 name. Now all we're getting is 4 door mini mini vansInodoro Pereyra wrote:I can actually imagine a 16X, 6 speed MX-3. That is, if Mazda ever finishes developing it...wytbishop wrote:Can you imagine a 20B-REW MX-3?

How do you crave for something that isn't out yet? Besides, the Kabura is a 2+2, not a 2-seaterInodoro Pereyra wrote:I couldn't agree more. I've been craving for years for a 16X, 6 speed, RWD, 2 seater Kabura...
All I want is a 2 door 2+2 that is FWD and high revving. anyther MX-3 essentiallyNd4SpdSe wrote:How do you crave for something that isn't out yet?

If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2 seater: you got the Miata
If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2 seater + More Power: you got the MazdaSpeed Miata
If you want 5-speed, RWD, 2 seater: you got the Rx-7
If you want 5-speed, RWD, 2+2 Rotary: you got the Rx-7 from Japan
If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2 seater with power and reliable: you got the Rx-7 + LS1
If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2-seater Rotary: Swap a Renesis into a Miata (and supercharge it like Pettit Racing did)
If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2+2 Rotary: you got the Rx-8
If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2+2 Rotary + More Power: you got the Rx-8 + Turbo, Supercharger, 13B and 20B swap options
If Mazda ever came out with a new 2-seater or 2+2, 16x 6-speed rotary making 300hp, it would be more expensive than any of the above options. Mazda accounced recently there's no immediate plans for a 2-seater rx-7 (or the like) replacement despite that the desire stretches to the top of Mazda HQ, there's no demand for it and that the next 16x-based rotary car will be another 2+2.
Mazda would never make a rotary FWD car again, it's pointless to have perfect balance in a car that understeeers, and FWD cars are made as economy cars or afforable sportyish fun cars, there's nothing economical about a rotary engine.
I crave it because I like it, and SINCE it isn't out yet, I can't have it.Nd4SpdSe wrote:How do you crave for something that isn't out yet?

Maybe you should read up a little on the differences between a roadster and a sports coupe. Believe me: if you pay close attention, they're pretty obvious.Nd4SpdSe wrote:If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2 seater: you got the Miata

Hmmm... Looks like you are also having problems with numbers.Nd4SpdSe wrote:If you want 5-speed, RWD, 2 seater: you got the Rx-7

I would say, if I WANTED a 6 speed, RWD, 2 seater, with a heavy piece of crap over the front wheels, I could have a Corvette. No need to get a beautiful car and turn it into an abomination. Don't you think?Nd4SpdSe wrote:If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2 seater with power and reliable: you got the Rx-7 + LS1
Maybe I should repeat what I wrote above, but I don't feel like it.Nd4SpdSe wrote:If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2-seater Rotary: Swap a Renesis into a Miata (and supercharge it like Pettit Racing did)
Amazingly enough, even when it's been a few minutes since I typed my little "numbers tutorial" for you above (you're welcome), 2+2 is still not 2. Incredible how consistent science is...isn't it?Nd4SpdSe wrote:If you want 6-speed, RWD, 2+2 Rotary: you got the Rx-8

Hmmm, maybe you could point me towards the part in which I said Mazda had announced they were gonna produce a 2 seater, 16X powered car, and, while you're at it, you could let me know where I said such car was gonna be cheap. I keep reading the whole thread up and down, and I can't find it.

Well, now that they know you don't approve, I'm sure they'll never make it.Nd4SpdSe wrote:Mazda would never make a rotary FWD car again, it's pointless to have perfect balance in a car that understeeers, and FWD cars are made as economy cars or afforable sportyish fun cars, there's nothing economical about a rotary engine.
Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.Nd4SpdSe wrote:I like reading your responses, they always make me laugh
