Not bad. Not a love at first sight but I think I will warm up to it. The bonnet looks long enough to swallow a huge engine. I didn't catch a price in there. Think it will be over 45k with rx8 in the 30s? Still 4 years away though....

still looks like the kabura concept even if they're calling it nagare or w/e. IMO, it doesn't look as good to me as say the FD series rx7.

It's pretty hideous. But I wish more companies would unveil their cars 5-6 years in advance so I can plan car decisions in advance.

Looks cool! Obviously its just a concept picture, but if this car has the same low weight as the 7 and 8 AND is TT, it'll be really interesting. Bobbo's right, these cars are better handling.

For a car around ~30k, looks great, drives great, has space for people, and is a lot of fun to drive/track, there is a lot of competition but the RX8 has always been up there with them... What's with this car and japanese car hatred?

I really like the whole look and idea of the RX-9. If its F/I, then I'll consider it.

I like it. As a concept it does not look bad at all andmazda has been pretty bold with their designes lately to bring out something fairly aggressive. Whaile everybody is getting heavy and powerful, going light and powerful might just do the trick to keep the competition off.

I've always been a fan of the rotary engine. The fd rx-7 was so badass. The rx-8 wasn't fast but it corners like its on rails. I turbocharged my rx-8 when I had it, and it was quicker but not fast enough. But I do like how they squeeze that much hp out of a 1.3l engine. The only thing mazda needs to do is bring back the twins and I think this car will do very well.

I've always liked the latest generation of the RX-7. Mazda makes great cars!!! I rode in a Mazda 6 and the CX-7 and their suspensions felt great and they handled pretty well too. They're definitely more sporty than Honda, Toyota, and Nissan.
