Very exciting possibility:

Hopefully it will be rotary powered.  Even if it is, there's no guarantee it will be built.  The RX-8 concept car was case study to gauge interest.  Still, I can't wait to see what the Tokyo auto show brings.

there have been a lot of teaser articles floating around past couple of days on this.  I really really hope that they do continue with the RX series of cars.  I thoroughly enjoy the ones i have.

You now have my attention! Even if it isn't RX or rotary related, I think it's a good thing, and a sign of Mazda growing, which means more money for Mazda = More development on the Rotaries... hopefully.

I am actually looking for a new modern car right now...

If anything is a give away with this teaser, it's the tailights, very similar to the RX8/late model FD even. Also, the overall shape is Rx7-esque. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't buy that FD... Now I'm excited, thanks!

I thought the same thing about those taillights.
