i agree a nice 350 styled coupe would be pretty cool as well as a miata but I dont want a miata unless we get rotarys which I know is not happening for a long time if at all.

lol that part was more sarcasm :P I would still want a miata chassis regardless, besides boosted inline six or even boosted v8 would do the trick ;)

Did Mazda ever sell an MX5 / Miata with a rotary engine, thought they were only in the RX series

I don't think so, it would have ruined the reputation of being fun, cheap, and RELIABLE.

I think the Rotary cars are called RX
I know there was a RX3 and a RX4 and everyone knows the RX7.

I dont feel this is the case at all, many manufactures run the same chassis but have a variety of engines for that chassis. It could have easily been a revamped 2 rotor N/A engine dropped it in and had two different models. Im not saying that the 4 cylinder in the Miata is a bad engine by any means because its not and is very mod friendly, I just feel they built a great chassis to throw a more powerful lighter engine into.

Here in Australia there is a company that started out installing 13B-REW's into MX-5's but due to a lack of supply they use the Lexus 4L V8 instead! :shock:

I reckon a 3rd gen MX-5 with a Renesis would have been awesome! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
