Thats right, a small rotary powered RWD hatchback. I'm talking something along the lines of the Honda Integra/Acura RSX, Toyota Celica GTS, Mitsu Eclipse, VW GTI. Detune the new RENESIS rotary engine, a put it in something like this, for a price between $20,000 and $25,000 and watch them fly off the lots.
This car would have everything and more that the competition just doesn't offer. For instance, a high revving engine is a must, RENESIS can beat any piston engine in that regard. It will have great handling, of course. But the biggest thing is that this car would offer RWD, something NO competitor offers at that price point. This car would absolutely kill in the handling, fun to drive department.
I dont' know if it is economically possible, but I would like Mazda to look into it. It is a big market that seems to be doing very well, and one in which I think Mazda would be able to offer the best product out there. We'd have a modern day RX-2 or RX-3 for example. People still love their RX-2 and old Datsuns, because they were small, nimble, and they still are the last bunch of small cars with RWD at a good price. Why not bring that back? Spread out the cost of rotary development, spread out costs of the RX-8 platform, and become the benchmark in the class. Mazda has been good at creating their own niche, but this is one instance where they could dominate the competition by going head to head.
Please Mazda, give it a look.
