People make this mistake way too often. I hate clicking on a Craigslist ad that says RX-7, ans it turns out to be a lousy cougar.

Back in the late eighties before the intranet I was calling used car dealers asking if they had any Mazda Rx-7's for sale. One them answered; No but I have a Cougar Xr-7. Close enough!, LMAO.

Happens to me atleast once per day! I always flag them for "miscatergorized" cause I get so frustrated.

Used to see a bunch of XR-7s at my local junk yard. No RX-7's though.

Well, Renault's typos made it all the way onto their cars!

Very annoying that they just pinched RX4. Yes it doesn't have the "dash" but I'm surprised they can use that name.

talking about transmissions you can swap ford transmission up to rotary engines and have a stout gearbox.
