lol

bad no, unenlightened, yes

It’s already public knowledge that Mazda has had a 30 strong R&D team pursuing rotary technology on a constant basis even after the RX-8 was axed.

What is up with the internet experts in the comments here? First of all, you have to be certifiably blind to think that this could be an MX-5 coupe.

As a current RX8 owner, you’re a heretic.

It could be, Mazda trademarked that name along with RX-7 a couple years ago.

Mazda knows this rule more than anyone. I wouldn’t worry

Mazda also said literally a few weeks ago they still had a 30 person engineering team working on Wankel technology and to “stay tuned” for the Tokyo auto show when asked about a new RX car.

The reports from Frankfurt auto show make me believe 100% this is going to be rotary powered. Read the news from interviews of Mazda execs there. RX-7 baby!

Agreed, we all want this, just build it already!! I would throw money at any Mazda coupe at this point, rotary powered or not.

This game has barely had over 2 years of development. Most AAA games take much longer, and Star Citizen is like 10 times more ambitious than a regular AAA game. The sky isn’t falling, don’t worry. It will be done when it’s done. Look how much better Arena Commander has gotten since it launched.

SMILES PER GALLON, YO

Mazda gave me a free 24hr loaner Mazda 3 while they were servicing my RX8. Not that crazy I guess but it was a bit beyond what I expected from a dealer. Mazda really is a great underdog company that more than deserves the fanboy praise they get.

That being a car enthusiast means automatically you must like expensive/luxury/status-symbol cars. Was hanging out with my non-enthusiast high school pals over this last new years break and they were aghast that I had hardly any enthusiasm for some mutual acquaintance’s 2 pedal BMW or Audi.

I have noticed the RX8 getting more love lately from the car enthusiast crowd (only because as an owner I pay attention to these things). I think a lot of the “it’s such a step backwards from the FD!” rage has died down and people are finally starting to see it for what it is - which is not a direct evolution of the…

What about the 99% of people that are changing lanes, but they’re simultaneously slowing down to make a turn, and cant move their cars ass-end fully into the lane because they coast into their lane change like a slow grandma, simultaneously blocking traffic in both lanes? I KNOW some of you Jalops are guilty of this…

There are plenty of small drones that can shoot HD video. Video cameras and storage (hello SD cards) aren’t that big anymore. It’s 2015, not 1998 - look at your smartphone’s camera. If the drone was made out of metal and was 4 feet wide, that is a semi-legit reason to avoid contact. But that is so far from the norm…

Jezebel is that way >>>>
