Now hopefully Mazda will crank out cars worthy of the rotoary. My suggestions. A 2-rotor RX5 coupe to share showroom space with the existing MX5. A new age, 3 rotor, 2-seat RX7 sports car based on an updated version of the RX8's superb but misused platform. And a Rapide-like 3-rotor sedan based on that same RX8 platform update meant to take the RX8's place in the lineup.

And a rotary without forced induction is like a fish out of water. Solve any 'seal' issues with the same technology that the superb ceramic pieces the aftermarket has been making for some time now employ.
