What does that actually mean when they say it's based on the MX-3, though? I mean, I understand that maybe it's designed to fill that niche in the market (small light two-door sporty thing) but that's about it. Different chassis, different engine, different styling, etc.

Well if it's as good as insiders say it is, the Solstice may be the one luring away potential Miata owners. (I hear it will be priced at about 20 grand)
Some people are saying that the market needs a few RWD sport compacts. I say if Mazda can bring some version of this Kabura to market for $20 000 or less, they would have a pretty clear winner with the tuner crowd. Scion what?!
Although you're right, if they price it too low, the 3 will suffer; If they price too close to the Miata, not good either...It will probably never sell for more money than a Miata although sadly, that's where I can see them trying to fit it.. between the Miata and Rx-8.
I think it could actually sell now if they made it but at what cost to models that barely even started to pay for themselves yet? I won't hold my breath for this thing but it is an extremely cool car in many aspects. (Rx-3 would be better than MX-3 for sure and under 20g)1998 Mazda BHALP SE - Rain Forest Green Mica

"There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

You can definately manage a good "work-out" in that car. It's just that you haven't found the right chick yet-------------------------

Looks like they tried to hard and crapped that out....those seats are garbage and the interior is way to gaudy....i like the curves and the tail lights but to me it almost seems like they tried to make it look like the crossfire. The only car id be looking forward to is the Saturn sky. The solstice is allready out and yes, its only 19,999 and you only need 1,000 due at signing. I see them all over the place now.1991 Mazda protege DX (SOHC) 5spd
