I learned to drive a stick in my dad's RX-2, which he'd bought new. (Hey, that ryhmes.) That thing would backfire like a bastard, but I loved it. Bright orange. I've had a soft spot for orange cars ever since.

Cool ad. Too bad the prediction didn't come true. I'm still hoping that someday when I make my luxury sport sedan purchase that it might be able to have a rotary engine.

Then came the oil crunch, and a bunch of other unpleasentness..

But that has got to be one of the coolest pix of a wankel engine I've seen.

it'd be neat, but expensive to have made i'd think. Never the less though-pretty kick ***. :D

It stinks...if it wasn't for the oil crisis there would be a million rotaries around, but then again if it wasn't for the oil crisis, companies like Toyota and Honda wouldn't have been so succesful.
