N/A rotary making 300hp in a car weighing about what the FR-S/BRZ weighs is pretty cool, but it's also potentially problematic for a US vehicle. How many of you guys have had an RX-8? How'd the fuel economy work out for you? The spokesman was quick to point out that the new catalyst would help meet current/future Euro regs, but where Europe focuses on emissions, US policies are ramping up to focus primarily on mpg. Soooo, open-ended question... will Mazda offer the RX for US consumption, knowing the rest of its lineup will have to pick up the slack?
