	Actually the 3rd gen Rx-7 is a class action suit that is taking shape 
right now. The car is one I'd love to love...neet shape, light, quick. Way under 
engineered. Go out and look at the various Rx-7 sites, it's a very sad story. 
One fellow still has his site up but unloaded the car after Mazda put 45,000.00 
dollars back into it in the way of warranty repairs. Engines, turbos, paint, 
turbos, engines. The body flexes so much that some of the cars are having 
problems with the door latches no longer having enough adjustment. That poor car 
was rushed to market way under tested, and now Mazda's paying the price.
