We will have to see what happens. I would like a hybrid set up like my hemi. Full power unless on interstate and cut four cylinders off but just run on electric motor on interstate while maintianing a constant speed. I know rotorys dont get the best gas milege but who knows what high tech wizardry they can add.

I dont support electric cars that plug simply into an "outlet". They are basically getting people to pay more money for a false sense of environmentalism. But really its not helping at all since electricity doesn't grow on trees, but most of it is produced from coal burning power plants.

the government just likes to give the false impression that we are doing good, so they can reduce the cost of making money

CAFE standards will require increasing mpg for new cars. So unless you think mazda can make a rotary "sportscar" thats get those high mpg numbers you may want to keep dreaming. Seriously guys, every year there's another thread about how Mazda is "bringing back the rotary sportscar." Not gonna happen people.

Good news is that Mazda's strategy has been to improve fuel economy while keeping some style. So I doubt they will be confused for a prius any time soon.
Sadly, this setup relegates the rotary to generator duty and never puts power to the wheels directly. All the high-revving noises, powerband, tuning potential are gone. Basically you're buying a re-styled chevy volt where a portion of the purchase price goes to mazda's Rotary R&D dept. I'll still consider it though.
