^well said yourself sir! That's 110% my feeling. I look at it this way. A couple years ago the 16X was seemingly ready to market...almost. Then we heard there were problems. End of story. Mazda stopped all further communication about it. Period.
Fast forward to today and the "rumors" as such are "..nothing before 2013". Fine, but it's late 2010 calender year, so 2011 models are afoot everywhere. There is general concensus that a couple years before new model release something is leaked and sketches about a new model are feed to the 'system' to prime the market, pique the interest, or what ever you want to call it. To date ...nada from anything that could be called 'realistic', just rehashed photochops.
That leads back to the 16x. Given the current rotary info void...apparently things aren't going well, and that applies to the world market..forget it may never show up in NA at all. It's just sad and disappointing, there's no way around it.
Bottom line, THAT is why (at least some of us) are frustrated and dispondent...the signs are all to apparent what's NOT happening that should be.
