They hope to be able to engineer a rotary engine cheap enough for sale.

They

aren't at that point yet.  The goal is a car costing less than $30K.
Unfortunately, the four door is not only ugly, it's also heavy.  I've

lost

faith in Mazda if you can't tell. ds
An alternative under consideration is sticking the new normally

aspirated

engine in the RX7 they took off the market a few years ago.

Unfortunately, if the public response is anything like it is here, it could
also affect future development of the rotary by Mazda based on sales
of this wannabe.

I would not worry too much about it Archie. No accounting for public
taste. Look at the sales of new Beetles and Audi TT's.
