Not only can mazda make the car piston and rotary power but they can make it rwd for rotary and fwd for piston, remember mazda is a company run by enginier's and they have the tecnology and mazda never takes the easy way out they love a challenge
The car will be piston with a rotary twin and will be a blast.

Yeah, Yeah I owned an RX-3, the piston version was an 808! BOTH RWD.
NO Manufacturer is going to make a model thats RWD rotary and then FWD for a piston engine car. The tooling and design costs would be costly.
As I said they wont go back to a rotary piston combo anymore.

Mazda 2 (so an ad on a website somewhere, europe only I'm sure)/RX-2
Mazda 3/RX-3
MX-5/RX-5
Mazda 6/RX-6
The key is to increase price and performance to match progressive buying power.
Once brand/product loyalty is established (how many products establish loyalty like our wonderful little spinning engines) you simply need to ensure that you have products for all markets. If Mazda made 4-rotor turbo-charged exotic and made us pay $200K for them, there'd be buyers. The same goes for a little, light, runabout with 100hp and awesome mileage. I'd love to a see a Tribute RX as well. Sure, it would lack in torque, but it would be easier and more fun to drive.

I also heard that they were going to kick off the Mazdaspeed 3 at the Detroit show. I thought this might have been the "exciting" thing that you'd see. Not the RX-3 or whatever.

Remember what MNAO did to the supercharged white 8? They smashed it.

Yes Mazda has to build a RX-5 based on the MX-5. Fitted with wider tires this would be a true competitor to the S2000 and people would be willing to pay $30k. What is Mazda waiting for?

damn it. all i waiting for is that Mazda brings out some S200 *** kicking sports car with GREAT turbo renasis or 3 rotary thing.
i would definitely want to see a MX-5 with renasis= the best coupe ever.
it will kick all S2000's and 350Z's pitiful asses.
i love mazda. it is one of the only jap companies with sport spirits.
i believe mazda and subaru are the only ones left for sporting.

Mazda have not exported and made a piston/combo rotary since the RX-5/121 in 1975, 30 bloody years ago, and they aint going to start now...
There is NO Mazda 2/ RX2 in Europe???, the RX-2 finished in 1972/3.
Mazda have never reused a rotary model name (RX-) for export after it has neen discontinued. So the RX-7 is DEAD as a name. A Mazda 6/ RX-6 combo also have Never been made. You can only wish...

If Mazda are going to build another rotary powered car then it has to be a CC with folding "METAL"(light weight) tin roof.

I wasn't saying the combinations exist, it would just be nice to see.
There is a mazda 2. see http://www.mazda.com.au/articleZone1...cleZoneID=1808
And as I've said before, saying it doesn't make it so. The fact that it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it wont. Only the incredibly narrowminded and conceited would make such ridiculous assumptions. If marktet pressures indicate profitability in a particular course of action, there is a strong likelihood that it will happen. Market pressures can only be established by consumer demand (us asking for it).

Mazda is coming out with a new car December 06 as an 07. It will be a Mazda RX8 GTR. It will have a supercharged 3 rotor with an AWD set up.It is scheduled to produce 380 bhp. I'm really excited. The sales rep at Mazda said he would put me on the super secret waiting list if I bought a car from him that day!

Another RX-7 would be more likely to take sales away from the RX-8. Besides a new RX-7 compared to a RX-5 would mean a lot more development costs.
