Yeh, but i not a fan of the front fender look. Go seamless and beef out the fender with a different style maybe.
love everything else. Take the 9 to new look, not to detract from the rx8, but do not adopt the rx8 style front end. 1 st Class all the way, purely a sports car look.

Can’t they just take the FD chassis, make it better and drop a turbo version of the new rotary engine in it? Easier, looks better and would make the fans happy.

its 2011 … still no sign of the rx9 … but i say the rx8 looks better than that concept.
the rx8 looks more sleek and has more curves. this concept just looks like a normal family car. if they incorporate some of the design from the SHINARI concept car, and add a bit of the rx8 curves from the front wheel arches, then i think that would be a suitable rx9 !

you don’t buy a car whit a rotary engine to be economic, but you buy it becous u whant to have something special nobody else has. and once u had 1 you don’t whant anything else. i had a 1986 rx7 gen 1 it was stunning and now i have a rx8 and its even better to bad it doesn’t have a turbo like the rx7 gen 3

din’t have any trouble whit both so for me ist te best engine in te world

i love when people that know nothing about rotaries say 1.8? isn’t that gonna take more gas. we we say fuel econ we mean maybe hitting 25 mpg. can’t wait to get my hands on witch ever engine size the 1.6 or 1.8 no idea witch it will be but it will be nice to custom make intake and exaust manifolds using fc and fd electronics with a haltech ecu shit will FLY.

I think it looks better than the RX-8. But I do want the suicide doors in case one has to haul some cargo, the suicide doors comes in handy for easy in and out access. I really think it’s a great feature. They should not take it out.

Well, another addition to the RX-line rumor mill. mostlikely a photo shop but that car would be DAMN SEXY….especially if it was packing the same handling/ FR weight ratio and 300+ ponies

I never liked RX8. How is buying this cars which uses as much fuel as a V8! How many they sold here?? I know in Germany in Feb 2010 5 people bought this car.
