RX-8 has 4 doors, 4 seats...get my point? RX-7 would be a two seat all out performance car.

I think you mean the MX-3, which was based on the Ford Probe.

Yeah - expect the RX-7 to have significantly more horsepower and torque as well as a much higher price. I've read past magazine articles that put it 2 years away, so it should come out shortly after the new Supra. I think its good because Mazda will have time to study what Nissan/Toyota, etc.. are doing and shape the RX-7 around that.

MX-3: based on the 323/Protege, sold with either a 4-cylinder or a 1.8-liter V6




MX-6: platform shared with 626 and Probe

i was reading through miata magazine and i found an artist's rendering of what the new rx-7 could look like, based on insiders' descriptions and images. and it says that even if approved, it wouldnt arrive til late in the 2006 model year.
