What if...Honda and Mazda joint together to come up something to compete with 86?
I know Honda and Mazda is fully capable to built their sports car, just like Toyota and Subaru. Just fantasy chatting here so how would you think?

Great! Competition is good for all of us.
|
There is no relations between Mazda and Honda.
You would more likely see a Mazda 3/Focus/S40 type effort. I don't think that Volvo and Ford still have a relationship. But I believe that Ford is still tied to Mazda in some way. |

Even if in another dimension they did... Then that means more competition... hooray |
It would be a hellava car! Certainly better electronics which are dismal on the BRZ.

If Honda is using the same design team that designed the 2012 Civic, then I'll pass.
If Mazda builds the same quality as of their 2001 Mazda 3, then I'll pass. Imagine if Honda uses the design team that designed the 2012 Civic and let Mazda build it... Uh Oh... We gonna have an ugly looking car that rusts in no time. If that's the reverse then I would have to see. |
A 2001 Mazda was designed more the 13 years ago. I'll give you a 50% rating.

The BRZ is what the next RX7 should have been. I'm not sure the Wankel is a viable engine anymore, though. Which is a shame as I always enjoyed the 'exotic' nature of owning an RX7.
But, I'm fully invested in my BRZ now so the loss is offset. :) |
its in swedish but mazda and alfaromeo are teaming up to develop the new mx5 / coupe car togheter... should be intressting..
http://www.automotorsport.se/artikla...ensam-sportbil link is in swedish but you get the point.. google search: 4c alfa romeo http://www.tuningnews.net/news/11030...cept-hr-01.jpg still a concept.. but you get the point.. |
I think Spyker and Gumpert should build a competitior to the FRS/BRZ. Bring it!

Mazda and Honda have built some great sports cars in the past; if they ever were to work together to build a sports car, the result would undoubtedly be spectacular, as long as they keep it gasoline-powered and don't screw around with hybrid/diesel drivetrains. Those are awesome for economy, not going fast or having fun! *cough* CR-Z *cough*
|
mitsubishi motors (not the keiretsu) and mazda maybe as they're both relatively small and it would be financially difficult for them to go at a new 86 style sportscar on their own. honda doesn't really have to partner up and neither does nissan.
|
Mazda and Alfa Romeo have joined together to build a shared platform for the new 2015 Alfa Spider and a brand new MX-5 Miata. Only the platform will be shared. The bodies of both cars will be different and designed by each company respectively. The Alfa Romeo will have it's own engine and suspension as well.
