Speculation is that a production Kabura will most likely be called RX-7

An RX without a rotary is heresy. It'll never happen.

Nothing to do with the RX-7
the senku is hideous, I'd rather buy a tercel than something that looks that ugly... looks like the aborted offspring of a minivan that got raped by a bugatti veyron.
the Kabura concept has nothing to do with the RX-7 and is instead probably destined to be the next iteration of the MX-3 that went out of production in the mid 90's. That makes it basically a hatchback version of the MX-5 with performance to match. I think it's really attractive, but who knows if they'll make it.
NOTE: this isn't speculation on my part, this is what motor trend reported in their latest issue.

quote from the offical mazda media site (registration required)
until i'm proven wrong, i'm going with mazda's word on the matter over R&T's. but i guess it could happen.
Were the KABURA design study to achieve production status, it would likely be a stand-alone product rather than an extension of any existing model line.

edit: I too would be a bit disappointed i f this becomes the reincarnation of the rx-7. I would hope for somehting that stays close to its roots and resembles the FD (best rx7 design IMO)
