This is it! The RX-7 Replacement!

Not really, but should we not at least get a little upset that Mazda is naming their "sport wagon" (crossover SUV/Tall stationwagon/AMC Eagle) the CX-7?

I love the fact that they said the "The automaker's rotary-powered sports will cars carry the RX designation"

suggesting/hoping for more than one

Yea, I also noticed the carS, thus making it plural

Plus, remember the article I posted a few weeks ago?

Smells like ... things on the move at Mazda

Yukkk!! Looks like a Mazda 6 front end with the styling of an Infiniti SUV...Why are they putting a Rotary in an SUV? It has no torque! I could maybe see it in a sedan, but SUV??

Its not a rotary. The vehical has not been given the rx badge as it said in the artical link. Didn't read it huh!
Not much into an SUV my self but it looks nicer than the tribute.
Look at the doors. I wonder if it will be hinged like the 8?

I'm pretty sure they're not putting a rotary in the CX-7. Unless....

This is terrific news. It shows that yet another car maker has decided to produce yet another vehicle to tap into the yet fully tapped market of idiots. All the bulk of a minivan with none of the benifits.
