YES. Although the squared tailights were called something else. For instance, instead of R100, I *think* it was called Mazda 1200 or something.

yeah ... directfreak is right ... they all had different names for the piston cars. i think the Rx-3 was called the 808 or something, but i don't know what the Rx-2 was called.

I'm just going by what I've read. I've never seen the piston version of a CD Cosmo in person.

Yeah, I've seen many nice old school rotarys, but there are a small number of us that own them that just don't have the money to put into them to make a nice looking ride. I've been known to go for the "sleeper" look.

Mine IS an 808, '75 and it had a piston engine in it. I converted it to rotary a few days after buying it.

I live in South Carolina, USA.

SHIP ME ONE!!!! I know there are many of us that would do just about anything to own an RX-3, -4, -5, ...if they are that plentiful down there, ship a couple up here to balance the planet out!!!
