Hi all, long time RSX fan here, wasn't going to register until I got my RSX, but forced to get some opinions here. Been posting around to get opinions. Anyways, I was all set to buy one in the next 3 weeks, but just these two days I saw pics of an upcoming Miata based car called the Kabura. I wasn't considering waiting that long to get a car, but the pics of this thing really made my jaws drop. Should I get RSX now or wait in hopes that they make the Kabura. Opinions?? Thanks. If you never heard of the Kabura, here is some info - http://www.kaburaforums.com/fo...p?t=7

Here's what made my jaw drop and put me in this dilemma:

 

The production car will look nothing like that concept car... even if it does, its probably three or four years out.

 

3-4 years!? You really think it'll take that long? damn

 

Sweet.

Oh wait, you meant the car. Yeah, it looks crappy, like some bulbous 350Z which is ugly as is. I mean the 2 chicks are nice, they can get nasty on my hood.

 

its looks interesting, a lil too futuristic for me

if i were you id just get a Type-S now and have fun rather than having to get 3-4 years older

just my .2 cents

 

If it really ends up coming out 3-4 years later I guess I can buy RSX now and trade-in. Time to do some research on trade-in values of RSX after 3-4 years Do all concepts take at least that long to be put into production?

 

^^Lots of concepts don't even make it to production.

 

Any idea if Mazda has a high rate of making a concept vehicle actually happen? What about Honda and other car manufacturers. Sorry I know this is a Honda forum but this place is real busy so hoping to get some good insight here.

 

you kiddin? RSX versus a miata??

RSX HANDS DOWN!!! RSX is sexy lookin, the miata is girly. Who knows what this concept will end up as tho.

 

That thing looks slick. Looks small, too -- wonder how good it handles. It's got a lot to live up to if it's to be the Miata successor.

Driving-wise, the Miata is a freakin' blast. I've only spent a few minutes in one, but it was at a Mazda zoom-zoom live marketing event where I got to hammer it around an autocross-style course. Great balance, great response to the throttle, great seating layout (wheel & pedals were right where you'd want them; shifter could be higher, but my EP's shifter spoils me).

Depends on what you'd want to do with the car. The RSX really is more practical; the Miata (or probably Kabura, too) would be more of a kick to drive hard.

 

Miatas are girly cars. They look like angry guppies.

RSX all the way!

 

Yeah go for the RSX. You can always trade it in later if this thing does hit production.

 

it made my jaw drop too, only cause i was like wtf is that uglyness. if you don't mind driving a spaceship get the miata.
