I haven't owned my car very long so I wanted to get the input from members that have had their mx's for a long time. I am wanting to do a sort of "redesign" of the mx-3 as is if Mazda was to make one in say 2013 what would you want to see different in it both in astetics and performance. I am planning to take this info in and possibly make a sketch or designs of it and send it to mazda.
Me personally would have liked to see the mx as either an awd or rwd with 4 way steering and a from factory turbocharged engine or rotary model.

Tiburon, with more curves and fewer lines... and a Mazda badge.

such as this little beauty
this is Mazda's redesign of the MX3 based off of the MX5 chassis.

Tiburon...ew.....
But the kabura? is what its called is the perfect update i think or the concept picture just done exactly how they had drawn it (the mx-3 only looks like it a little)
and yes defenitly RWD I think a very light car with alot of horsepower will sell alot in todays market, i mean people buy the civics, cobalts and genesis's like there going out of style, mazda needs to take advantae of this and no the mazdaspeed3 doesnt count im talking coupes i mean they have the miata and had the rx-8 but people want a mans coupe that has a piston engine thats turbo/supercharged and neither of those fit both categories

Indeed, I think the Kabura fit the bill, especially with it's 2+2 (3+1) seating. Although it would need to be FWD, they already have the Speed3, and they don't need a 2-door version of it.

Haha, only from the side kulluminati777, the overall shape of the car.

Love the concept above. It looks just like an MX-3 to me. It's too much of a supercar look, though. If Mazda builds another, I'm sure it will be taller like their other cars (unfortunately)

Sadly, I don't think they will re-capture the magic that is the MX-3... All of these giant wheeled, 4 door monstrosities are testament to that...

If they release another "4 door", I hope they at least have the sense to mimic the RX8 suicide doors. Then it'd be functional, and less of an eyesore.
