Unhappy No More 7's

From January Road and Track.

"The End of Two Legends: Mazda RX-7 Spirit R; Nissan Skyline GT-R

...Mazda has decided to close the chapter on three generations of the model with a special version called the Spirit R.
What makes the Spirit R special, aside from being the last car to wear the RX-7 badge, is that only 1500 were made, with the last car coming off the line on August 29. Virually all of them were spoken for in a matter of days..."

What the hell guys?! Am i misreading this? ahhhh....im gonna barf!

Didn't they say that if the RX8 did well they'd come out with a 4th generation RX7? I believe it was on the rx8 forum, even had pictures!
