the future is hybrids, make that rotory run on something other then gas, make it reliable, and it might stand a chance.



Why would consumers in this day and age want a engine that gets sub 20mpg, consumes lots of oil, and all the other problems?

what do they get in return? less then 175hp to the wheels?

the new Camry is actually pretty nice. If Mazda or Ford could come out with something even close they would be in great shape.

The new Camry has more power then a Mazdaspeed 6, im sure the Mazda would spank it around a track- but we dont drive on tracks to go to work do we?



When I get rid of the Mazda 6 this time next year its either a Challenger, a Scion TC ( just to keep it simple ) or a GS lexus hybrid.

I know those cars cant be compared to each other but thats what I have narrowed it down to right now.

I would give up RX-7s for a brand new Camry (top of the line). I dunno what it is about the front end, but it makes me wanna buy one and keep it forever.
