no more rotaries in the foreseeable future :(
They are still working on them it says, so hardly completely dropped. :(
Oh crap... that is bad news... :(
Judging by the errors in that article I wouldn\'t hold too much store by it.
What He Said.
It\'s not filling me with confidence regarding the accuracy of their reporting.
its in several car news articles I am afraid guys.
And lets face it , it will be years before they will be able to get a get rotary engine to pass the latest EU emission requirements eg laser ignition,Direct Injection
Not much profit in yet so why make a large investment
Sadly, the sentiment of the article is accurate. It\'s not going to happen in the near to moderate future.
Strange, I thought a follow up to the RX-7 was announced and due around 2015 aiming to compete with the FR-S/BR-Z?
Wouldn\'t be shocked to find out this is true though, with rapidly tightening emissions laws and rising fuel costs the practicality of a Rotary car is diminishing.
Sad times.
yeah i think this new job is just changing the direction on how Mazda operate, and is tasked in increasing the bottom line
