The RX-7 is never coming back and amid VW's diesel issues I'd expect to see very close scrutiny over a Wankel engine. It's never happening, Mazda should stop stoking the flames.

Ii agree a larger Miata with a DIT 6 would dominate in it's market, but Mazda doesn't do stuff like that, they make FWD cars that fight you tooth and nail under acceleration and slow RWD cars that are slow, but handle really well, but are slow, also "cool" appliances (aka slow cars).
DISI 2.3 RX-8 would have been a SLICK car. Also a turbo Miata.
