All I see is Mercedes design in this - but it’s pure speculation anyway

See link for the full article, you’ll most likely need google translate. Below is the main image from the article. Someone on facebook pointed out the potential of the shaded area for the trans tunnel not being a tunnel at all and perhaps this would be for electric motors

What do we see in the below  oppo? Anything of unique interest?

I don’t see it being an r x-9, I see it as the coupe of the new rwd straight- 6 mazda6. From what I gathered from a quick glance, the only thing tying it to an RX is an unnamed source, the patents/drawings are just a generic rwd application, and we've already heard of the vision coupe getting greenlit supposedly to premier at Tokyo this year as a four door coupe. Which I am super stoked about to be honest, I'm thinking of legit trying to get to a place where I can afford one in the next few years, but I need to get my wife a new car first and get that paid off to even have a shot.

The rotary aspect, yeah. But a few outlets have reported on a new rwd architecture designed for a straight 6 skyactiv-x based on the vision coupe concept, production version is supposed to debut at Tokyo this year from what I've read.

She actually has wanted a Mazda 3 for years, but she seems to like the previous gen more s o it’ll probably be a lightly used ‘16-18 hatch.

What is this project will get cancelled and they make more crossovers for 1000, because profit?

Yeah and I’m super impressed, she’s not really a car person but she’s wanted a mazda3 hatch for years, I change my mind every 6 months, I’ve literally had 5 different cars in the almost 6 years she’s had her Kia Rio. But a straight 6 rwd Mazda is literally everything I've ever wanted so if it turns out to be real, I'll get her a Mazda 3 now and take her old Rio until that comes out.

A bit of aston martin on the hood, too. Looks great, shame it’ll never happen.
Although, is it plausible that they’ll try to compete with the new supra?

Maybe the RX series of the future can be more about newer  technology rather than rotary engines. I wouldn’t mind seeing Mazda get into the electric car game, and a limited-production sportscar would be a good place to begin , kind of like how Tesla got its start.

I mean, an electric motor is kind of a rotary...

They should have continued on with a car like the RX8 and did a V6. It was a great car, does great in sports car racing, etc. The engine actually held it back from mainstream popularity.

that’s never going to happen even harder than a new RX is never going to happen

MAYBE they’ll pursue that line, but it won’t have an RX moniker.
