In england, the only reason its classified as double the displacement, is because if it was classified as a 1.1 or 1.3 litre, it wouldnt be a sports car, and it wouldnt be in the same fuel consumption bracket. It's just placed as double so that it is within a certain class of vehicle.

Yeah JAPAN is the same way. Its doesnt all depend on the liter though, they are smart about it.
if you have say a NA MR2 SW20
which is a 2.2 liter taxes LOW
Turbo version 2.0 SW20 liter Taxes LOW
Big *** frucking turbo 2.0 SW20, your plate changes $$$$$ and your taxes go HIGH
I wonder if the 12A is a 2400liter in England then?

Still, 1300cc engine = 1.3 liter.
However some ppl argue that the actual displacement is 2600cc because of the number of combustion cycles per revolution or some ****... I don't even know that side of the argument... Maybe some one can explain it to me.

Though the 13b physically displaces 1.3 litres, it consumes 2.6 litres of the air / fuel mix per two revolutions of the output shaft. In equivalency terms, compared to a four stroke piston engine which consumes, hypothetically, 5.0 litres per two revolutions of the output for a typical V8, the 13B is equivalent to a 2.6 litre if thinking in terms of actual air / fuel consumed.

I have to explain it all the time, so it doesnt bother me much 
Rotary i knew before I owned one since I saw them before I even knew what it was.
I get how many liters is it 1.3, damn thats small, must be slow huh? (NOPE) well how my pistons does it have, it doesnt have pistons it a rotary. Hummm looking at me like im dumb, well ok how many valves does it have? (doesnt have valves) what what does it have? (IT HAS ROTORS!)
My responce would be in the ( ) marks just incase you didnt get it.
People dont know, but it bothers me when they look at you like your dumb, because they dont know haha
