why is the rotary engine not used in any other car besides the mazda rx-7(8)? it would seem that the advantages of a rotary outweigh the disadvantages. and why only mazda? did they buy the patent or something?

As a previous RX-7 owner I would be worried about an RX-8 since the amount of people who have experience working on a rotary engine is probably limited here in Hawaii. I also remember everything being expensive.

I still enjoyed my RX-7 though

Dan, what are you talking about? I saw Logan driving one months ago! It was blue, and already modded too!

didn't ford (owns 40% of mazda) buy the patent to the rotary engine? and yeah rotary engines are more efficient in all aspects but costs more due to the small market.
