Mazda manufactured rotary powered vehicles for 43 years. RX-8 production ended in 2012, one of my coworkers drove one.
In 2018 an auto parts delivery subcontractor was driving a rotary engine pickup.
When car magazines publish their tests of Mazda vehicles, they frequently comment on their nice interiors, with comments such as āhigh-quality materialsā. Whether that is enough to convince buyers that Mazdas are in the same class as Acura/Lexus/Infiniti vehicles is questionable, but Mazda interiors definitely seem more upscale than those of Toyota and Honda.
Car buyers are probably more concerned about reliability, mechanical, than interior quality.

In cars or tractors?
25 years ago we were driving cars that got 30+ mpg. Now my daily driver gets 22mpg. What happened?
I really loved the first LH platform cars. We had a 94 Intrepid for a while and later I drove a 96 LHS. Great cars to drive. But since then, meh.
Only the boring ones with no flair for life! 
A car has to look and feel good to the driver as well as do its mechanical duty.
Mazda has brought their rotary engine back, in the MX-30 Hybrid. Rather than driving the wheels, the rotary engine is called a ārange extenderā, which will replenish the traction battery.
Yaāll have it backwards, no N. American or Pacific Rim manufacturer has a car that can compete with the Miata for the fun/price ratio. There are cars that are close but have too many seats, therefore out of the running. GM was forced to get rid of their competition to the Miata.
Ohhh heck yeah, I still say my 95 Intrepid 3.5l was the best overall vehicle I ever drove, that is why I bought oneā¦ Still miss that car, it was totaledā¦ Sadly I saw what happened to them with ageā¦ lol
My friend bought a LHS (think 2nd gen) and fault with repairs after repairs after repairs, I think he had the dash out so many times replacing this and that, that he could do it in his sleepā¦ Also had tons of engine issues, rebuilt, replaced with used, replaced with reman, just couldnāt keep the car on the road, it did have over 200K on it, so there is thatā¦ lol
Nissan frontier based Mitsubishi pickup for the us market is on the way.
