all car makes have been able to for a while; Mazda's patents ran out a long time ago. Its just that they dont want to. Nonsense such as "they're unreliable" and "have lots of problems" and "are gas guzzlers" and other such poppycock.


ROTARY'S RULE!!!!!!!!

Mazda never owned the patent on the rotary engine.

Not a patent on the whole thing, but patents for different little doohickies within the rotary.

Nah, other carmakers deem it too risky without enough of a payoff.

GM and Mercedes both experimented with it a long while ago and Lada made a 4-rotor tank.
