Japanese Cars We Can’t Have…Yet, Part 2

Here are some more cool rides I saw while I was strolling through Tokyo:

This is the new Mazda Atenza, known to the people in the U.S. as the Mazda 6. Our version which is slated to arrive later this year will basically have the same exterior. By the way I saw the sport wagon and it is HOT!

Here’s a car we’ll probably never get to drive. “Kei”, or k-cars like this current generation Honda Life (JB5) is ubiquitous in Japan. Think B-segment subcompacts in the States, but even smaller. To qualify as a k-car in Japan the vehicle must displace no more than 666cc and has only 3 cylinders.

And finally here’s something sexy! The Mazda RX-8 recently received a minor change (M/C) facelift and it’s now looking sexier than ever! Too bad the Renesis engine still lacks punch.

Nice factory RECARO sport seats and optional 19 inch wheels I’d love to bring home with me.
