Yes of course it is. It was built in Japan by a Japanese company using their rotary engines using a very sporty drive train, and with a proud tradition of Japanese rotary sports cars behind it.

However, this model was designed by a team of designers in California!

Does this make it an American car? NO. It makes it an American designed car. But the vehicle is Japanese, and renowned for being uniquely Japanese.
Um i thought the last RX7 was designed buy an japanese designer that had been with mazda since 1973. he came to nz earlyer this year and they had an interview with him. they said hes most well known for designing the last shape RX7. i think it showed his original drawings. im trying to find the artical at the moment.
