Either it will be a 13bttt, or 20b. There is really no way around it. If Mazda follow's suite of it's past, then the first 20b will be N/A. Further down the road (later series) it would possibly gain a turbo.
The 12a is the most reliable (and slowest) of the rotary line since 1979, and every time they've made a new engine, it's gotten faster and more unreliable. Sad!Hopefully they will make something that's a bit more reliable and faster, too.
I heard they were going to rotary-power the Miata. Eew.

rotary powered miata? no way. not a chance. but the new miatas looks damn sexy, id get one over a craptastic soltice anyday. sure its a little more expensive, but its faster, more nimble, and no GM crapo quailty.
