The Mazda RX-8 has been with us for quite some time now and upon most of that period it’s been advertised as a winner on most fronts.

One of the major niggles it’s had could be found in the styling. There have been quite a number of people complaining about the overly complicated looks of this car.

Somehow, the Japanese creation borrowed from the country’s tradition and it had lots and lots of details on it. To a Japanese person, all of that makes perfect sense as they can look at each detail and appreciate it.

To most westerners on the other hand the car looked like a mess. You’d think that when it was time to retire the RX-8 that mazda had learned their lesson. As it turns out, that’s not the case.

Not only do they plan to make the car a better RX-8 using most of the original principles but they’ve also expanded the list of people who join the committee.

Whereas before you had a relatively small number of Mazda engineers and designers who would cramp all of their ideas in, Mazda is now taking suggestions openly.

the above text is from the original story, i don't agree with it - the authors a tool - but the funny thing is, he's not lying about mazda opening the door to have your say.
heres the facebook page link - theyre asking for your opinions on a new rx vehicle. i think people are holding back on it too much though. no one has suggested a 1000hp 4 rotor full carbon fibre stripped out interior with 8 pot brakes oh yeah must have reverse cameras for easy parking at the shops.
post up your idea on your ultimate rotor on here

have your say

Reborn 1st gen using the current Mx5 platform
but a wider version, with wheels to suit
13BREW single turbo, cheap to produce using existing technology
it'd be the next cult car for a new generation!!
It'd smash the FT86....
And for the money most things I'd imagine....

Done.


And by the way, those people that don't like looks of the the Rx8, especially the latest version, can, simply, get ****ed.

I like this one more. it's like a batman car in real life. i really hate it when people calls it as a poor man's "aston" but this car looks better than there models especially the shinari concept with more advance mazda parts (http://www.carpartswholesale.com/cpw/mazda-car-parts.html).
