 Them selling a rotary as something environmental. The mazda rotaries get pretty much the worst fuel economy to power output ratio of any motor on the market.
Cats are so awesome. I'm going to have a huge carpeted room full of carpeted pillars of various heights & painted as buildings. Then I'll fill it with my many cats & let them rule the city. Then once a month I'll dress up as Godzilla & pack myself full with catnip and invade- WCW 1. I have one of the most beautiful county ever, with everything except electronic/modern things 2. If you have ever read anything about Caucasia youd know how independent culture/language/everything we got. And we/cristians were sorounded by Arabs/Turks/mother#$%#ers/musulmans for 20 centuries and were fighting with them day/night for 20 centuries long 3. You are mess of french/Spanish/you dont even know who. Your grnadmother were eating babana on the tree when your grandfuther #$%#ed her and were borned yourmother. At this time we had our alphabet, 1 from 14 independent alphabets in the world4. You are a 22/25/whatever year old squirrel and rabbit without any #$%#ing personality 5. kle xar.

 I know I'm gonna catch hell for this, but every magazine has complained of the RX-8's excessive fuel and oil consumption on their long-term tester cars. OK rotary cult members, what about that? Is it true? I like the concept of the rotary engine: smooth power from a small package without a ton of moving parts. But the drawbacks of low torque and high thirst don't sell me on rotaries. There's a reason they're so rare, relative to a piston engine.
It's going to be a long season.

Not that I have any great love for Wenkel Power or anything, but 160lbft tq is hardly "low torque" output from 1300cc

If you ask me, the rotary engines are GREAT for Open wheel Race cars (such as Mazda's Champ cars http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=mazdaSpeedMotorsportsChampCar&bhcp=1 ), and other racing applications, where weight is one of the biggest issues, and high rpm output is a huge advantage. However, for daily driving, it is certainly not the best design.
