Well I hope mazda brings back the rx-7. I saw some more drawing of it and I didn't like it all that much, except for the front. I hope they improve on the looks. I also read that they might make it a turbo. I read that they are working on a forced inductions for it.
All RX-8s have an 8 year 100,000 mile warranty on the rotary engine core components (those few moving parts and housings). This was added to the original 4 year 50,000 mile to quell any doubts people might have had about engine longevity. Doesn't get any better than that does it? So warranty on my 2003 will be up in..let's see 2011

Say, how long is a Z engine warrantied for anyway?
