If Mazda would want a new Mx3 to compete with the Civics, Preludes or Accords, a rotory engine be tight only if it is a 2nd option next to a V6 model

Re: NEW MX-3 According to motor trend
It's true, The K-Series went from 91 in the Mx-3 until the end of the 626 in 2001. Ther'e no point in bringing back 10year old engine technilogy. They can make smaller engines with more power and better fuel economy nowadays with today's technology. The K-series has been replaced by the Ford Duratec 30 3.0L V6Juans_93_MX3 wrote:Nd4SpdSe wrote:K-series is dead.Juans_93_MX3 wrote:HOPEFULLY, they end up using a K series engine...![]()
