The rotary generation, the 80's that is, is no longer relevant. I guess some people in Mazda still got stuck in the past. Engines are so good nowaday that the rotary (with all of its short coming) will be viewed more like a pain than engineering innovation.

The main two advantages of rotary are light weight and 9K rpm. While the former deserves some merits, the latter is just pure hubris :-) But then you have to deal with all sort of reliability issues.

But rising above any of those said above is I don't think today people really care about rotary technology. The automotive community has move on. Mazda ... hello!
