Sales
were low and the RX-8 couldn't pass new Euro emissions. The typical RX generation is 8 years so it was time to end the model anyway.
I believe the RX-8 was the most successful RX generation to date. I think they might make a full sedan next time. There were rumors of a RX-9 which would likely be a bigger sedan and/or a RX-7 revival. We know they are working on a new Rotary and it's going to be bigger and better than the Renesis. But unlike Toyota they haven't announced anything yet.
