<< GM bought the U.S. manufacturing rights to the Wankel, and
Honda CVCC, engine. Then shelved them, never intending to produce the
engines. The logic was to keep these highly efficient engines from
displacing the crappy engines being produced by GM (and Ford & Chryco). A
twin rotary Wankel engine produced more useable horse power over a greater
RPM range than anything produced at the time.
You can get the facts on this from the Library if you think
I'm not telling the truth. GM has used it's monetary muscle to pull quite a
number of less than kosher deals. That is my main objection to them, not the
quality of their vehicles.
Example: When Chrysler imported Mitsubishi's they were
labeled " Imported by Mitsubishi for Chryco". When GM imported Japanese
vehicles, they were labeled GEO, and nothing was ever mentioned about who
actually manufactured them. John Q. Public was lead to believe that these
were genuine GM products.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.

I work for Mazda. Rotary's are awesome, WHEN THEY RUN RIGHT! Otherwise, they
suck.
