I don't know...if we were in a "normal" and stable economy, then hopes would be high, but in THIS worldwide economic gloom, I'm kind of doubtful.
I hope it happens, because I'll be buying...as long as they don't make it ugly

I'm pretty sure this is not gonna happen
We can put a man on the moon but I seriously doubt Mazda can make a rotary that is reliable and gets good gas mileage.I'd rather see them make a Mazdaspeed Miata.
Sad but true.

single turbo and programmable ECU would solve 90% of the issues associated with the FD...again, it's been four years for me and I drive the car like I stole it
Quote my entire line.

Sad but true.
This is the typical peerless ignorance parroted by so many internet pundits. It's like all the numbnuts who believe apes really morphed into humans because that's what everyone else says is true.
News flash, mr. head in the sand, there are FBs out there with 200-300k on the original engine, quite a few actually. The rotary is very reliable, but it does not have a high tolerance for preignition or detonation. ALL the issues associated with the FD are turbo and ECU related
