hell yeah man, omg u hit it right on the nose dude....im 21 i dont need a 4 door 4 seater. if it were up to me itd be a 2 door 2 seater and weigh 300 lbs less without all that frame strengthening they had to do bc of the doors....
232hp would have been fine in a car weighin 2700 lbs.....
all theyd have to do is go to 2 door and the performance would jump leaps and bounds, there ya go guys, dont even bother with a bigger engine...keep the 1.3l and drop it 300 lbs....
HELLOOOOOOOO
MAZDA? are u there?
while ur reading this, make me the driver for the rolex GT 3 rotor rx8.....!

Obviously, Mazda can call the car whatever they bloody well please, but...
If it has a back seat and suicide doors, then it's an RX8. If it's a two seater rotary , then it's an RX7.
I'm hoping the "family" rotary idea goes bye-bye. I love the RX8, but I don't need the extra 300 lbs.

You are not going to get a car of the RX8's size and quality - interior wise - to drop 300lbs and maintain the interior quality without incurring a lot of cost. I.E. it would no longer be a ~30,000$ car.

I don't think there have ever been 2 production rotary cars in Mazda's line up at the same time before. I doubt it would happen now. There are just too many people afraid of rotaries to be pissing in your own cheerios.
Mazda would have to retrain their entire staff of techs to ACTUALLY be able to COMPETENTLY work on a rotary motor and bring the MPG way up amongst other things to make this motor more mainstream and viable enough to put in 2 cars at the same time. I'm not saying it can't happen. I think the engineers at Mazda - and everywhere else actually - have the ability to give us some amazing things, a lot more than they do give us. I just don't see 2 rotaries being offered at the same time in the near future.

It's been done before.
