Sounds like the leg
endary RX-7 will return. Sources close to Mazda have confirmed that a proper 2 door, Rotary engined sports car wearing the famous badge will be popping up in Mazda showrooms in 2011 as a 2012 model year vehicle.
Why the sudden announcement you ask? There was a management shake up earlier in 2009 and when the dust settled on April 10, 2009, Mr. Ikuo Maeda was announced as the Chief Designer for Mazda. Mr. Maeda, has been quoted in many interviews as saying that he wants to see a new RX-7 built. Mr. Maeda has been with Mazda since 1982 and resume includes the RX-8 and Mazda2 .
The new RX-7 will be powered by the new Renesis 16x, twin rotor, rotary engine that features a new direct injection fuel system and a lightweight aluminum side housing. The new design is said to improve thermal energy and torque levels at all engine speeds, and reduce fuel consumption.
The Renesis 16x has been used already in a recent Mazda concept car and is capable of 350 hp, but will be tuned down to 200 – 250 hp inorder to maintain better fuel mileage.
Prices are slated to start at a very aggressive $25,000 USD. This will make it a direct competitor with the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the upcoming cousin rwd coupes from Toyota / Subaru.
I’m thinking, “only 25k, rwd, rotary engine, 250 hp….whom do I leave my deposit with?”

Owners of Mazda3 show cars have been popping up all over the country with Mazda3carpet.com molded carpet kits installed in their prized vehicles.
One such person is Troy from North Carolina and his 2004 Mazda3 sport:
“From the very moment I heard the buzz of a new carpet mold being made for the Mazda 3, I was beyond excited. The factory carpet is very thin and well let’s face it, was not meant to last forever.
For those that have daily drivers and put their cars through all sorts of weather conditions, you know all too well what happens over time.
This new carpet is easily 5 times better hands down.
Let me tell you, this is by far the best carpet I have ever felt.
The look, feel and texture are unmatched. If you are thinking about replacing your interior carpet, this is the way to go. The prices are perfect and the quality is top of the line. Also Mazda3carpet prides themselves on customer service.
If you are thinking about replacing your carpet, now is the time.”

We had a big set back when the initial donor car used to create the mold had damage to it that prevented an accuate mold to be created. But another was finally located and the mold created.
Here are a couple of pictures of the mold made from the floor of a Mazda3 from the manufacturer.
Because of the holidays, the carpet kits will be shipping out on the second week of January has been confirmed by the factory.
