Paul,

Apparently the Senku is a mid-engine Renesis and the hybrid is a
transverse H2/gasoline experimental engine.

I'll find out shortly. If it is transvers that is a good sign
as it could go in the "3", "6" or a mid engine sports car
like the Lotus Elise.

"No rotor no motor"  --  I like your tag line!    That would be real catchy
on the cover of Car And Driver.  :-)

I plagiarized it from RXtuner mag. :)

For Mazda it will be: No rotor no Mazda. They are attempting
to compete in the econo car market against the likes of the Toyota, Honda,
Koreans and Chinese. No profits there. Mazda have no luxury or high buck,
high profit products like Toyota and Honda.

It is about time they took advantage of their unique position
in rotaries. I would like to see a four rotor high end sports car
and a luxury rotary powered GT. They also need to get on the stick
and improve the rotary engine. Aluminum end housings would be a low
tech low risk start. Turbo compound or bottoming cycle engines would
be another avenue of real engine improvement. Hydrogen will never
happen. Hydrogen is a waste of R&D resources and money. Hybrids
might help in the short term.

They are presently trying to compete on handling but who wants a
mediocre performing hard riding econo car just because it
handles. I don't think so.
