2012 Mazda RX-9 is really the second coming of the legendary RX-7
We were introduced to the Mazda RX-7 nearly three decades ago.

More recently, we've seen the proliferation of the Mazda RX-8. It seems that the Japanese automaker is ready to create yet another generation of reasonably compact sports coupes, because here is a sneak peek into the rumored 2012 Mazda RX-9. I hope it stops here, because RX-10 just sounds goofy.

Some people are saying that the Mazda RX-9 is really the second coming of the legendary RX-7. This is because the RX-9 appears to be a regular two-door coupe, rather than having the four-door configuration found on the RX-8. We hear that it'll have something like a 1.8L powerplant, a LSD, and a dual-clutch six-speed transmission.

There's no saying whether these renderings are leaked documents from Mazda or just the wet dream of a Mazda enthusiast. The source could not be confirmed, but I'm liking the prospects myself. Just make sure it's still a rotary.

Let's all Hope So!

The RX-7 was simply brilliant in all of its great handling, light weight, sexy looking glory...

it did have a couple minor set-backs with cooling issues. but overall it was a GREAT car. i was lucky enough to own a 2nd gen anniversary turbo and 3rd gen TT rx7 and loved them both.

Rotaries FTW!!!

Its only issue with the last gen rx-7 was its constant need for service.

Wow, futuristic looking yet still grounded enough in the present. Rear looks Aston Martin'ish (which is a plus to me), and good overall proportions. I like.

Wow - this really looks awesome - concept form yet I can totally see it rolling down the street as is.

There are too many clues that run against the direction that Mazda is going with design. With a hood that high, I'd be worried about it being something other than rotary, too.
