Question 2002 Rx7?????

I was just wondering when the last production year for the rx7 is?
I know that the U.S stopped in 95 and Japan stopped in 99!
But I have a freind saying that they have a 2002 model selling in japan. I thought he might be mixing it up with the rx8 but he said no it was an rx7 2002!! Any help please?

I just want to know if mazda is developing the new 7 now or not??? It took mazda about 4 or 5 years to finish the FD. And from the interview I read on Rotary news it said that they had no idea what they were going to do the the RX-7 as of yet. So if they do come out with one in 2004, I dont think it will be nearly as refined as the FD is, since it will probably be a two door version for the RX-8 or something... But does anyone have any solid info?

Please RE-read the prior posts. The initial post (2002 RX-7) refers to the FD3S produced in Japan. Yes, he said that the RX-7 (US version) stopped in 95, BUT he also inquired about the 2002 model RX-7...which is to be found in Japan only and NOT in the US.

i haven't heard of any '04 return of the supra and 7. nsx yes. i think ford wants to see the response on rx8 before announcing any return of the 7. i don't doubt if prototypes of the 7 are being created. it'll probably be a NA with more hp than rx8. I think reliability will be high on list of priority for the next gen 7.

No current FD, Supra and R34 will be offically imported here. Yes on NSX. Next NSX is kind of a sure thing will be here. But next gen RX-7, Supra, GT-R are still in question on coming here.

The next gen RX-7 is in working/design process already. They just don't know they will product it or not.

Nissan is very sure about making a GT-R. But they will import it here or not is a big question mark.

Toyota is still not sure making a Supercar or next Supra. Either way they will have a Sport car. But they didn't say will it be here or not either.

IF they make a 4th Gen RX-7 it will be very interesting to see what they do to it, I would personally like to see a FD 1.5version, meaning not an all new car and look just a revision of the current design. I'm sure something we would all like to see.

Being Mazda I'm sure they are going to change everything we love about this car, forcing us to find new things to become attached to
