kabura video

^ The Kabura is a much more complete design for a concept vs the Evolv.....so much so that it really looks as though Mazda intends to build this car. Not my style as the RX8 is already smaller than anything else I've owned, but a very nice looking car indeed.
I know some rotary loyalists will take offense to this comment, but the Kabura would be better off without a rotary engine.

^^ sorry, but if Mazda is truely watching these forums, then I want them to know my true opinion. The Kabura would be better off with the current inline 4 cyl from the MX5. If this car is truely going to be marketed to Gen-Y'ers....then fuel economy is a huge concern. Mazda has already proven that they cannot make the rotary economical......which is fine for people that have the income to spend $28-33K on the RX8. The Kabura will be competing with cars from Toyota and Honda in the $20K price range which offer performance and fuel economy.....the rotory cannot deliver that.

ther were "issues" that had to be taken care of at the plant. and no for a new 6speed auto fitted to teh high power engine. there was also soem pushign by Mazda japan for th eUS to still sell the standard power with the 4speed as aprice point . MNAO had to push back hard to not accept that.
the RX-3 would have much fewer built than the MX-3. and cost a K more or so.
