By the way, any particular reason why you don't like Hondas? I'd personally love to have an S2000 such a cool car.
How is 238 hp from a 1.3L engine inefficient? If you were to get a piston engine that displaced 1.3L to that hp number, it would require forced induction, and burn way more fuel...probably even more than a rotary.
