"New" Mazda RX-3

A Japanese magazine has featured what they're saying is a new RX-3.

Photoshopped RX-3 concept.

In the MX-5 forums opinion on the basic concept was positive though reaction to the styling was mixed. It's clearly a photochop of Honda S2000 front, RX-3 rear quarter windows and bits and bobs from other things.

Over at AusRotary the basic concept had support as well but the look was dismissed. AusRotarians tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to the use of the name "RX-3" so many were of the opinion that it should look more like the original. Interestingly, David Morris has confirmed the rumour. It's possible that the new RX-3 push started or was at least inspired by RotaryNews.
