no way in hell can they re-introduce the rotary engine by starting at around $30k and expect to meet the 18000 sales they are targeting for the RX-8.... because that's what killed the FD, when it started somewhere above $35k...
RX-8 returns the rotary back to its original root (all the way back to 1979's SA22C), which is EVERYMAN'S AFFORDABLE SPORTS CAR
You can get the 210HP Base Model for around $25K
