    Needs more cowbell.

    With GM offering the turbo Skystice twins with 260hp in this market, Mazda is going to have a hard time moving this car in the states. They've stuffed the turbo MZR DISI engine in everything from the 3 to the 6 to the CX-7, and I'd be disappointed if the MSNC (if we ever get one) doesn't have some variant of this engine.

    I have heard that there are issues with height on the 2.3 Turbo. I guess they have jammed it in a few Mazdaspeed sponsored drift MX-5s, but they had to remove the counter balance shaft in order to use the oil pan from the 2.0 to get everything to fit. This implies to me that a production MSM would require a good deal of engineering, either in designing a new turbo package for the 2.0, or resolving the height issues without removing the counter balance shaft in the 2.3.

    Well in that case I'm sure a Renesis will fit just fine.

    That front lip doesn't go with the lines of the car at all. A return of the rx7 would be nice.
