2010 Mazda 3 1.6-liter rotary

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/..._mazda_3_spied Sounds a bit strange, unless the 1.6 rotary can equal the MS3 power output/mileage or it's the hybrid offering. Prob wild speculation... but you never know.... |

very strange that they would say it so outright.
I'm naturally skeptical of course, but didn't i read that they now have developed a rotary FWD setup from the hybrid premacy? So i suppose it might be remotely possible. |
Yep that sounds a bit odd. I'll go with the crack theory...
|
I have a very hard time at believing this.

http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/mazda...-re-hybrid.htm ;) RE-3 might actually make sense. Not in the US Market (tho there are some places that could support it) but places in Europe and Asia could probably support it. |

What did the five fingers say to the face? Slap! |
^lol

Could the 1.6L rotary be the new Mazdaspeed3, instead of a turbo 2.5? FWD rotary sounds weird though...

it would be an Rx-3. For a year now the kabura is rumored to be a new mx-3/rx-3. you have to admit the kabura resembles the size and shape of the last mx-3. Maybe thats what is going to happen.
We will have the 4 door mazda3 and the return of the mx-3 coupe offered with a rotary engine option as the rx-3. |
After Car & Driver's initial test of the GT-R, I lost respect for them and sent them a model of a 1958 Nash Ambassador and told them to stick something more in their class.
