It's a shame that Mazda never built this replacement for the RX-7, one of my favorite sports cars of all time
I've always been a fan of the Wankel rotary engine and it would have been great to get a proper update of the RX-7. While the RX-8 was a fine machine in many respects, I'd love to get a Miata with a 13B in it.
