It can be the whole story.
Engineering organizations fall in love with superficial attributes of solutions that worked especially well for them in the past. When RIM/BlackBerry realized the iPhone was a serious threat, they built a touchscreen phone where the entire display produces a physical clicking effect because they were so convinced that what people really want from a smartphone is the click of a keyboard.
Mazda is BlackBerry, and the rotary engine is their clicky keyboard.
- cpursley 3y ago> Mazda is BlackBerry No, they're not. Go test drive a Miata. They make the most fun cars to come out of Japan. And also have one of the better design languages.
- KptMarchewa 3y agoAs much as I love Mazda, if the only thing they'll have for them is fun, they are dead as a mass manufacturer.
- itsoktocry 3y agoEvery car/SUV they make is highly rated. Reliable, well priced, good looks, premium interiors and, yes, fun.
- interstice 3y agoSince the achilles heal of the rotary is wearing seals has anyone seriously invested in testing coating/material tech for this? It may not make sense for mass production but spending ~10k to make a bulletproof rx7 would be an incredibly good investment.
