Once you drop the ball, rectifying the problem is easy, rectifying the image is hard.Mazda won in LeMans, RE holds World Quater Mile record etc... But has that improve the image? Yes and no.Just imagine for a moment, today we have new generations of REs that are 'bullet-proof' - will never fail even if you boost it up to 3 bar, rev it to 15k etc and uses 1/2 the amount of petrol than a piston. If you gave it to your son 21years from now, i can bet you his frens will ask him the same question - "you had lots of problems with your rotary?"As it is rarer than a piston engine, 25 years ago, ppl would ask RE owners how is it? They will answer honestly bla bla bla. Slowly it becomes hear-say and even as time it improves tremendously, it's still has a stigma. Those who can appreciate rotors are a rare breed compared to general drivers. But we don't need a general consensus to make us feel good. We koow what is good.Food for thought: Can car manufacturer improve the image of RE? If we ever had a fail proof engine, will they ever market it that way?Don't hear Mazda boasting much when they won LeMans, had one of their engines set the new world record etc.Nissan350Z won the Japan GT in Malaysia, and every couple of days they take up a full add in the newspaper. Sadly, image is based more on perception than facts.</blockquote>
