These are the same jokers that rated FORD as the having the highest "overall ownership" (or similar wording) experience for two straight years. Sure.

I'd like to see next years awards when the rotary piece of shiit actually gets into some cars.

If it's anything like the old one, it'll be on the block every 60K for a rebuild. Wankel...should be Wanker.

p.s.,,, VQ still rocks.

the vq is a great engine. it's been extremely reliable and versatile. why would you hate on an engine anyway lol.

how can you hate on the rotary design? it is the most efficient engine design in the world.

just because mazda had some problems pioneering the production of it doesnt make it a bad design...

not EVERY piston engine has been perfect.

VQ engine is good and versatile. but the J32A2 seems just as capable with .3 less litres. of course, then the m3 engine comes in. that thing is beyond a monster.
