The new RX-7 is reviewed (including a driving impression) in the October 14
issue of AutoWeek.  Although AutoWeek is not generally available on most
news stands, it is usually available at your better performance shops.
They reviewed it pretty favorably.  RE the new rear suspension, they say
it is most noticeably better during quick lane changes.  It tends to
cut down on the fishtailing effect.  They said that it will help the
typical enthusiastic driver but may hinder the professional somewhat since
it tends to induce understeer instead of oversteer near the limit.

Big news is the arrival of the turbo RX-7 next year.  They drove a model
of it in Japan and really love the smooth way the power comes on and
super acceleration.  It will probably cost approx. 21000 but still be
8 to 9K cheaper than a 944 turbo.
