Many countries have outlawed new cars with pop-up lights (I have no opinion, well on this topic anyway)

i personally cant see this happening ... the RX is an evolutionary series. the rx8 is here and rx9 witll be next. as good as the rx7 was ... everything comes to a end at one time or another! it had become to expensive for joe blow anyway ... saying that i will be getting one for my next car

MeFo · 21-06-2005, 09:36 PM

Why did they ban popup lights?

they have banned pop-up lights cause people think they are a hazard to pedestrians.....if you live in NSW i bielieve you cannot regesiter a car that has pop-up headlights from scratch ....the only way to keep them is to re-register before ur car runs out of rego....otherwise you have to convert them so they no longer pop-up......really stupid if u think bout it because if a pop-up light is gunna hit a padestrian.....i would say the padestrian is screwed regardless of weather lights are up or not.....really is stupid but hey just got keep rego up

bRaDiNhO · 25-06-2005, 10:54 AM

Mazdamaik you can re-register the car in NSW with pop-ups. It applies to new cars sold eg banning sales of new cars with pop-ups.

mazdamanik · 25-06-2005, 06:04 PM

ahh ok kool thanx for the info man....rego gunna run out in a week

mrpayner · 26-06-2005, 12:40 PM

That is so odd! Pop-ups are no more dangerous that a Merecedes-Benz star sitting up on top of the bonnet, or even a Jaguar leeping off a.. Jaguar!.. :s

Or iron grates at Shanghai

pr1mo · 26-06-2005, 03:11 PM

maybe thats why they changed the NSX

CareBear · 05-01-2006, 02:11 AM

Anyone have more details on this sweet ride?

I thought the Senku and Crossport concept cars had potential for a new car, but this is definitively the winner. To bad the engine power will hit my wallet hard thanks to norwegian taxes.

Cheers!

EddyEdwards · 07-04-2006, 10:24 AM

My BG had no registration whatsoever when I bought it. It's now completely registered, I live in NSW... and wow I never thought of them being a hazard :O

skippy · 07-04-2006, 10:35 AM

Gee I wouldn't want to get by a car with popups,

much prefer to get hit by a bull bar with a big arse whinch on the front,

That is the stupidest crap I have ever heard,

AstinaBoiV6 · 07-04-2006, 10:56 AM

personally i like the RX-7 series 7 better.. the latest 1 with popups.. it has a overall more soprtcar sleek look to it. this just looks like a rx8 and is 2 bubbely.. I like the low nose of previous models alot better. 300HP N/A hehe hey batman they copying u

AstinaBoiV6 · 07-04-2006, 01:17 PM

2brag · 07-04-2006, 01:28 PM

just spoke to some of the guys at work and theres official mazda word of a new rx7, but they heard 1.5L

Rupewrecht · 07-04-2006, 01:31 PM

Series 6 (which i think is the last one we got here)

Series 8

Different wing and front, basically.

Cincinnatus · 07-04-2006, 02:23 PM

Pop ups deemed hazardous because it's projecting above the bonnet and tends to rip parts off people as they go flying over your car.

In case you don't remember, in the late 80's and early 90's both merc and jag had to stop making cars with emblems on the front, only when they developed them in such a way that on impact they snap off/fold out of way/disfigure rapidly did they allow them to start putting them on cars again.

Having said that a series 6/7 RX-7 is gonna be my next car. Sexseist beists on the road. Either that or an r34 skyline. Fugly as hell but brutal too.

BJ BoI · 07-04-2006, 02:30 PM

i recon the series 6-8 rx7s are so much sexier, I might wait until the new one comes out and then get my self a series 6! should depreciate in value a bit which = cheaper for you and me :P
