Very clever indeed, Hudson, especially with the Citroen, of which I had forgotten. Hasn't Citroen a history of making fantastic cars! But wasn't that (M35) based on the weirdly-styled Dyanne, and only made in very low numbers?
NSU as a brand-name is dead though - despite its brave attempt with the beautiful, yet flawed RO-80.
Mazda even made an amazing (production) Rotary Bus, which would've been just the thing for the high-speed school run ..
However, there is one more manufacturer which you missed, that currently makes rotary-engined cars.
Clue: This carmaker produces significant numbers of cars, mostly piston-engined passenger vehicles & 4-WDs, mainly for its home market, and is a dominant player there. Its 2.6 litre-equivalent rotary is optional in at least two of its distinct 'platforms'.
Any guesses?
