I think that Mazda is afraid to put the rotary in any other car before
the RX-8 is established. After all, what is the real appeal of the
RX-8, other than being the only rotary powered car on the US market?
The funky Saturn-esque rear doors?
The new rotary might be too expensive for the Miata's low-cost
concept.
I hope that Automobile is right...are they usually? I also hope that
when they say "just over a ton" they don't mean "a ton and a quarter",
which is where they're at now.
