THE LAST RX7 WILL BE MADE IN AUGUST! According to an article in the recent Import Tuner, the big heads at Mazda in Hiroshima have announced that the last Rx7, known as the "Spirit R" Rx7 will be made. In light of the upcoming Rx8, the Rx7 will cease being manufactured! This is a low blow by Mazda, isn't there anything we can do? The Rx7 can't be replaced by the Rx8...the Rx8 isn't even a supercar...its a 4 door sedan!!!



BTW, the "Spirit R" has BBS 17" wheels, oversized brakes w/ red calipers, recaro red seats and will weigh a little less being the best production Rx7 ever! Why would Mazda stop?



DAMN THE RX8!!!

 

DAMN TAHT RX8 TO HELL!

 

RX-crate

 

Is this Mazda giving us a dose of "Be Careful What You Wish For"?

 

I told you so. B)

 

Mazda is tired of doing rotaries so they had to release something crappy to quell the demand.



Actually, who knows? Maybe the RX-8 will be cool, but it doesn't look that way right now.

 

that will make the value of 7`s go up.

 

Well mazda didn't have the resources to produce two rotary powerplants I think...thats when they had to make the decision of whether to keep the Rx7 or go on w/ their plans for the Rx8. I'm sure the Rx8 will be a great car, but it is hardly a supercar like the 4th gens! I just can't believe they are giving up on a 20 year model!!!!

 

Oh, and what happens if the Rx8 is a complete failure...NO ROTARIES FOR ANYBODY, did you think about that? That would suck! Prices for our parts are gonna go up, aftermarket companies are gonna lean towards the Rx8 too...the rotary world is gonna make a big change, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it. I'm glad I have my 2nd gen though...

 

For some reason a rapidly approacing $40K "Sports Sedan" seems like a hard sell.
