Possible new cars
Saw a MX5 coupe concept car in the latest Car and Driver. Slap an Rx8 motor in that and call it an RX3! I'll buy it ASAP!
I guess the Mazdaspeed team hasn't had a chance to play with the new rotary yet.
The original Miata came with a promise to the insurance companies that it wouldn't get a wankel. Wonder if that is still in place? I always thought that was a sell out.
Has anybody heard any more about a possible new REPU? Given the marketing realities, I'm not too confident of the results. It might just be a variant of the regular Mazda PU, badge engineering, and plastic tweaks.
Okay how about this. The WRX STI has a high performance all wheel drive system that shares a fit issue with the rotary. The engine crank is in the vertical centerline. Maybe a cooperative project to put under a new PU body? World class handling, and rotary power!
