i think i was smoking or something when i thought of this!!
maybe instead of putting a turbo on the mps version of the mazda 6 they can give it a 2 rotor engine similar like the rx8?

dont insult me if u think its stupid!!

For that matter. My not put in it the next Miata (RX-5). The more Rotries they produce the better as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, what is the correct plural of Rotory. Is it Rotorys or Rotories or Rotoi :p

It would be great. Just keep the engine longitudinal and driving the rear wheels. This is easy as there already a 4WD version in Japan. Just dump the front wheel drive stuff. And yes, give it the 6 speed tranny too.
