It's just the rotary throwing a wrench in the works for most people.
Possibly, but without the rotary engine, I wouldn't own one most likely.

If there was no rotary it would not be an "RX". Mazda is a narrow focused car company anyway, they sell the Zoom Zoom philosophy even in the MPV and Tribute. I know it's a business but I'm for one, glad to see a conglomerate cater to people who want sportiness but need practicality as well.
