Me, being a dreamer...I always hope that one day Mazda "solves the rotary issue" and they produce a rotary engine that is 1.3 liters with 300 hp...goes 150k miles and gets 35 miles to the gallon...
Mazda solved the rotary issues when they stopped making it.

Heh...

Plus the only thing limiting large displacement engine under boost is common sense and drivetrain strength.
