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?

have you checked out how long Camrys are sitting on dealer lots these days?
I think its like 7 days when the industry average is 30-60 days?
just cause you're old and grumpy doesnt mean we all have to be!

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.
