strange they would put a rotary in it all, specially because of the gas mileage issues. I guess if its only for the mazdaspeed versions then ok... but it doesn't make sense to me.

My friend pointed out to me this article's from 2008. So I guess it's just a little outdated lol...

We also expect the powertrain lineup to include the revised 2.5-liter four-cylinder (170 horsepower) as well as a new 1.6-liter rotary engine, details of which could be released as soon as this fall’s L.A. auto show.

Im sure they were speaking MAZDA in general.....theres not way teh 16X is going into a 3... so its not even worth arguing about it... /END
