Looking through my external HD archives, I just came across an image of this Mazda RX3, basking in the sun at the past Japanese Classic Car Show in Irvine. I really like RX3s alot. They have a similar 2-door "coupe" bodystyle to the Toyota Corollas (TE27) of the 1970s, but they were fitted with small-but-powerful rotary engines instead of the 1600cc hemi head pushrod engines that came in the US-market Corollas (the 1600cc twincam engined versions weren't offered in the USA).
This particular RX3 has a very cool road-race look to it… with 13×7 Panasport wheels and the low front chin spoiler, I think this car looks awesome. I bet it would be super fun to drive on a racetrack! What's your favorite old school Mazda? RX2? RX3? RX4? Cosmo?
