Youth is loving the technical possibilities of Wankel engines, maturity is coming to terms with what pieces of shit they are in practice.
And Mazda won't just let the damn things die! They're putting them in their plug-in hybrids because they claim it makes the combined powertrain lighter, and making them spin at a constant regime to act as generators for recharging the batteries mitigates most of the problems. In practice they're still oil hogs and with a flat battery the mileage is worse than in a more conventional hybrid system like Toyota's.
Sorry, car autism over. Teal woman good.
