You know quite a few Jalopnik writers are Jewish right?

Rusting issues aside...

I was responding to

And this is exactly what I was thinking of when I said “cool”.

nope... then it’s just another car. The Rotary is what gives it the Mazda soul.

Donald Trump, what are you doing here on Gizmodo?

Sounds like reason to me.

Are you seriously suggesting he’s the bad guy for NOT murdering hundred of thousands if not millions of people for no reason other than a MISTAKEN order? Cuz if you are then that’s some next level trolling and I tip my hat to you.

Not sure why these people bother arguing with you. after all you are the idiot of full size sedans. taking words of car wisdom from you is basically asking a fat person how to diet. how about we just go with a more simple approach for the simplest of simpletons...

Two words: Material Science. The advances in material science since the last clean sheet rotary design is absolutely insane.

You are ignoring the huge difference between GM and Mazda. GM has several orders of magnitude more R&D money than Mazda to throw at engine development and the rotary, unlike the small block, will not work as anything other than a sports car engine...at least not very well. Even the renesis wasn’t very new despite…

Because if you want a corvette you should buy a corvette. On top of that, a rotary sports car is similar to a 911 in its pursuit or preserving a celebrating the companies history. I’m not saying that the LS is a bad engine because it isn’t and anyone who says it is a bad engine is an idiot. The LS is a wonderful…

Complaining about low torque in a rotary is like complaining about low torque in a weed wacker. ANY 1.3l engine, rotary or piston, would have low torque.

You don’t even know what this new engine will be like, so let’s think about that before trying to use a 20+ year old engine to criticize one that’s not even out. Might as well say “The Apple Newton was terrible so obviously the iPhone must be terrible”

Currently the owner of a 120,xxx miles original motor 87 RX-7 that is still running, but keep thinking they dont last past 100k. Try owning one before opening your mouth.

Well. That certainly was a whole lot of words. What is a 727B? You mean the 4 rotor 26B used in the 787b and 792p in the early 90’s? That engine architecture (and the 13B-MSP/Renesis) is based on the original 10A engine, as is the 13B-MSP/Renesis. This new engine would likely use the architecture developed in the 16X…

Don’t buy the hype? High power-to-weight, compact design, high efficiency in continuous operation? In 60 years of design and production, the Wankel has come further than the piston engine in 121 years. You sir, will be eating your words with hot sauce one day.

Dude, no. I know you know quite a bit about engines..but for the love of whatever deity you believe in...not every fucking car needs a small block. That’s not a world I want to live in.

Any engine can produce way more power with lots of go-fast parts on it. The LS just has tons of options to make it produce more power. A bone-stock LS is a terrible, out dated, inefficient, ancient design. If it weren’t so popular with the morons, there wouldn’t be so many go-fast parts available, and it would be…

I think trash is pretty harsh, poor gas mileage? yes but trash? no please tell me about the last time you drove a modern (renesis) rotary.
