Considering the Ford Fiesta is essentially a Mazda2, and the fact that Mazda has a new diesel coming out, I think the offset is already in the works.

Lets do it!

According to the owner of my dealership (Mazda) the new RX is already out in Japan and we'll see it later on next year. I've also been reading articles non stop they're supposed to release and RX9 as the flagship and then another RX as the smaller sportier car. I've also heard from salesmen at work that by 2012 everything is gonna have a 16x in it or the option. The Mazda 5 (Premacy) in JDM land also has a 13B Hydrogen engine as well as its 2.3L or 2.0L. But the hydrogen powered vehicles had limited production.

That statement is full of fail.

Was this the same salesman that sold the handicapped woman a $60,000 Mazda6?

Yeah, there is not any new rx's yet in Japan other than the Rx8. And they
may still make the Rx8 in Japan even though it is stopping here in 2011. As
they also did the 3rd gen Rx7 till 2002. There working on the 16x which
is still being developed. And the hydrogen rotary which Mazda has sold
some fleet cars to other companies in Japan so they can watch it closely.
But nothing new in production yet.

I thought I'd share speculation not for you guys to search up answers and criticize.

If you understand anything about how the auto industry works and where it is heading you can see right through your now-so-called speculations. I and everyone else would rather hear hard facts than what people (especially Mazda dealers) think is going on. Its the same reason I don't watch the news anymore.

I was going on he said she said, how is that fact? I was optimistic and hoping for 2 new RXs but the sad reality is its probably not a fact. I had also mentioned that it was a salesmen who said everythings going to be rotary, what the hell do they know anyway? Except for bottomfeeding and scamming poor old retarded women. Now we can only dream but that would be stupid from Mazdas side, look what happened to them in the first place when they had a rotary (or option) for and in everything. Plus yeah they wan't to move forward, not re-release a discontinued car. Though it would be awesome..

As far as arguing over something that we have no control over and its still a ways away lets leave that for the "evil forum." Where all the arguing, fighting and retarded questions exist currently.

I never said you told us they were facts, I simply said you presented your information as facts. If the salesman are such scumbags and untrustworthy then why did you present the information gathered from them at all?

hey MazdaMike, no pun intended. Now we know what you meant. So lets leave
it at that. Its easy to be misread when typing words. Back to the subject at hand.
