I thought I heard a couple years ago, (I don't remember the source) that Mazda would be able to produce the rotary for about the same price as a piston engine. I don't remember what kind of piston engine they were refering to either though.

I'm gettin' kinda foggy in my old age.

It was on a TV show where Mazda showcased the Renesis and RX-Evolve/RX-8 prototype...

They said that it would cost slightly less to make than an equivalent V6.
