There are plenty of speculations, spy reports, insiders' leaks on these "secret" developments. So I'm not going to speculate any more here. Assuming all of them will make production in 5 years (2011 - 2016), this list would be my favorite.
1) Honda new NSX (or whatever it'll be called) based on HSV-010 GT
why? If the name Honda NSX isn't enough persuasion, then there is the most menacing stance I've ever seen with a Japanese car. An instant classic. VTEC V8, FMR lay-out, light, pure as pure comes.
2) Mazda RX7 (2012?)
why? Despite this ugly picture of a mock-up, the sight of a brand new RX-7 would be very incredibly attractive, not to mention long overdue. As wonderfully flawed and unique as the RX-8 is, it's time to move on.
3) Mazda Roadster (MX-2? 2012?)
why? Going back to MX-5's root. What made it such a good car isn't the power, but the weight, or the lack of it. 990kg (~2181lb), handles.
4) Honda CR-Z Type-R (non hybrid)
why? The half hearted hybrid is for the general public. Now give the enthusiasts a reason to buy Honda again, come on.
5) Subaru WRX STI coupe (or sedan)
why? Subaru is known for their special versions. This one would make a few more people happy. Niche market!! A few more dedicated performance parts as well please!
6) Subaru AE86 STI (in my dream?)
why? Why the hell not? FR, Toyota AE86 bloodline, Subaru's boxer engine, perhaps turbo charged, STI treatment.
7) Mazda Furai (first Mazda production supercar?)
why? Mazda won 1991 Le Mans with a 787B. Show us the sky is the limit, pretty please?
