If it was in GM's hands it would have been burried alive and never seen again. Does anyone remember what GM did to the Tucker? I wouldn't be suprised if in the future they try to buy it for the Corvette. Hopefully Ford won't squash it if they notice they lose Mustang sales but either way they would still profit.

ford allowed mazda to develop the rotary engine on its own. Ford just provided the funding

Hmmm, Mazda's points total from just one engine is greater than all three Honda's point totals added together.





Not that it means diddly, I just wanted to mention that.

Now, hopefully they will bring the 7 back.

I actually hope they don't bring the 7 back because i'm sure if they do it'll be a dissapointment. They should retire the name and call it an rx-9.
