its great to see that the ol' rotor motor is making a comeback. With its increased fuel economy and less emissions, I think it will do much better this time around.

Yeah its pretty cool, and the car runs quite good, I drove one 
But jesus 32,000 dollars... I think they can keep them. Same reason they stopped selling the 7 in the US was decreased sales, and market analyists said it was mainly the price of them.. Well well see if the market is different now.

yeah the rx-7 was around $40,000 when it left here, and $32,000 is the price for the fully loaded model.
I believe they start around 27-28k. The japanese sports car market is far different than it was back then too.

Not to mention everyone there knows me as a rotary guru, not to mention I drove up in a brand new $20k Corolla Type S, and they know I have money to pay for it, with a credit rating over 800 and I work for toyota and make jack LOL But anyways, they take a small credit ap from someone with credit like mine and throw you the keys Well it was ummm very impressive, handling was like ******* awesome. The power was very very good, I was resoundingly impressed with a NA motor... I swear in ways it was close to my Cosmo POS. It was nice to hear the rotary humm muted by the catalytic exhaust
Actually to tell the truth I considered purchasing it, but couldnt bring myself to spend $32k on a car... especially with back seats... Kinda runied it for me. Oh and by the way it will bark 2nd and 3rd, not to mention I took it to about 130mph and it had ZERO problems getting there...
