100,000 over 9 years, or was it 10? Sales weren't that robust. I had my car over ten years when someone asked what kind of car is that? BTW, I actually liked having people ask me what it was. Felt like I had something exotic.

You can't have it both ways.

Either a smaller-than-toyota production run is a good thing, or it's not.

I am not holding my breath - still think Mazda is done with rotaries unless its some kind of hybrid range extender

I think the entire auto industry is in for a big hit soon

Speaking of e-chargers here is Audi's attempt with a diesel: Audi RS5 Reviews - Audi RS5 Price, Photos, and Specs - CARandDRIVER

edit: at that page you gotta scroll down a bit to see what I'm talking about

double edit: This article also talks about the e-turbo but focuses more on the fact that Audi is using a 48v system to power it: http://wot.motortrend.com/1408_audi_...al_system.html
