'WR' I think stands for World Rally, 'X' I don't know... RX I think I read somewhere stood for 'Rotary eXperiment'...but I don't have any feasible sources for this.... bwayout 09-12-2003, 01:25 PM Originally posted by RX8-TX ...

"Mazda Powered"??? :confused: MX = Manufacturing eXperimental? Seeing it was joint with Ford? Yeah, RX = Rotary eXperimental, unless it's a very popular falsehood.

Actually most seem to think experimental, and I've seen it documented that it's experimental, though some people still stand by x = cross. RX, not a clue...
