RX-7 long way off: Maeda
Words - Mike Sinclair
Mazda's chief designer says any next generation RX-7 is years away
Don't hold your breath if you are waiting for the next generation RX-7. For if Mazda's global design chief Ikou Maeda is to be believed, the vehicle isn't even on the drawing board and will be "years away".
Maeda-san spoke candidly about the fate of the next generation RX-7 at last week's unveiling of Mazda's Shinari concept car and new Kodo design themes in Milan. He told journalists there was no official program for the iconic Japanese rotary sportscar, though admitted it would be "a dream come true" for him if he were ever to get to design its replacement.
"Please push Mazda... Please ask Mazda president to build this sportscar, " Maeda told journalists in Milan. "I have made a lot a sketches myself of the [RX-7] sportscar, but there is no program."
The purpose of this petition is to show support for development of a new model of the Mazda RX-7 sportscar.
By signing, you show the president of Mazda that there is sufficient interest in a new model and make it more likely that a next generation RX-7 will be released.
Personally, I have waited about 8 years for this car, saving money to pay cash for the car the day it is released, and when the chief designer of Mazda asks for my help, I'm going to take things into my own hands.
If you're passionate about this like me, please help get this petition and the facebook group around to your friends and the automotive community at large.
Thanks for your time.

I am an interested buyer looking for something new from Mazda. I've owned about 6 rx7 ' s and just love the brand and the rotary motor. The rotary has had its share of ups and downs but I think it's a worthy platform to build on.

It doesn't have to be an rx7. It doesn't have to be a sports car. I just want to see a rotary. I know the rotary can be awesome even in a gas mileage retrospect. I mean a lot of the 1st gen guys with 12a's set up their carburetor's to do 30 mpg with 100 p
