Too little too late

I'm interested in what they will do for the type-r

I think if they just go full dodge demon they might make a dent.

Reveal the 4-rotor rx9.

hybrid assist, son, every car needs it now.

I don't know how positively people would react to that. It's not really in the spirit of the RX7 and RX8 to have a hypercar technology that would make it very expensive and heavy. Unless you're talking about a Honda style CVT hybrid, but I doubt it.

A better route, if any for the return of a Mazda sports car would just be to flush the rotary down the toilet and go for a turbo six. They could still make it have decent emissions with aggressive overdrive gearing, like on the newer Corvettes.

I'm a big fan of both Mazda as a Japanese underdog company and the RX7 as a car, but rotary engines are just not feasible in 2017s automotive environment.

>Built in America
>"Japan"

Now I don't hate the new NSX like most people, but this thing is mostly American.

The only thing the americans did as far as i know was the final stages of the design. its still a Honda and Honda treats it like a comback into the performance market and a successor to the NSX. as for being built in America the Type R is built in the UK and its engine is built in America but its still a Japanese car.

Honda making a comeback (is) Japan making a comeback anyway.

I thought quite a bit of the engineering was done in the US at least some of the promo material I've seen on it has made it seem that way, I'm not saying Japan didn't have a hand in it or the Type R, but it's a very global design in my eyes. (Not really a bad thing, and yeah it's still japanese too by virtue of marque)

As for making a comeback, yeah I can see it like that.

Nobodies making a comeback. Car manufactures are killing off cars for te future of self driving auto faggotness.

It was built in the US by Americans. I went to the Honda Plant in Ohio and got to see a presentation by the lead developers of the car.

>limited production 4-rotor super car
>poorfags can't talk shit about it because they can't afford it
>richfags can't destroy the engine since they only drive it once a year
Seriouly though, RX-8+poorfags combination really destroy dorito engine reputation

>>17292545
Fucking kek, brave to shill this shitheap.

Lexus seems to be doing well, but their RCF is fixing to be the best $25,000 USD used car.

Proof or it didn't happen.
