We all knew this day would come in some form. . . but with no rotary car in its wake, its especially hard to stomach. Guess we wait for the global economy to support launching a sports car and wait for the Mazda engineers to make the rotary into a high mpg powerplant.

... but the chassis is still top notch, and there really won't be any "practical" sports cars out there, in my opinion.

So anyone got a couch I can crash on for a while... I think I'm gonna have a grumpy wife pretty soon. I promised her I wouldn't buy another car till late summer!

Love the car, love the motor. I've had a lot of cars, and this is one of my favorites of all time...

I think this may be perpetuated by people who have never owned one and have "heard" they use a lot of oil...

Only way I feel this affects me is it probably means fewer parts and modifications. Especially true for those of us with '09s and '10s. Probably shouldn't look forward to modding my car much when the warranty's run out in 3 or 4 years.

for the 09/10 guys, this does kinda suck but it might also mean that all of us start getting less service and even worse warranty service.

...wonder how long now before US regs force the same announcement from Mazda here.... something like...
"Opps... we can’t figure how to make a CAT big enough to stifle our RX-8 emission spewing rotary - so dang it - we did went and euthanized the thing. Sorry."
