Well, at least it has a nice, new, bigger, cleaner engine. But will it still eat oil?

Ahh.. let it. Its Ford cousins are eating babies. I think a little oil consumption isn't felonious.

Rotaries will always eat oil. There's no other way to lubricate them!
 
The facia is definitely more aggressive, but the rear looks strange. Really scrunched up, and like something off a sub-compact.
 
I'm liking both of these versions. The later pictures of the standard model look better, but that first pair makes it appear to sit a little high (lots of room left in the wheel arches). I still don't know if I'd own one. A friend of mine knew somebody who had one that blew up after 30k miles being daily driven.
 
Eric.

After 30k miles? There was something wrong with that car to begin with if it only lasted 30k miles. Hell My RX-7 apparently went around 250 000k before it needed a rebuild! Mine has 50k on it and drives like it was new!
