"Mazda Motor Corp. will display a new rotary engine with aluminum substituted for steel in the side housings for the first time. The engine, to be introduced in the early 2010s, will be lighter and more powerful than the engine now used in the RX-8, the company said.
``Oil is getting scarcer and more expensive,'' said Seita Kanai, Mazda's head of research and development. ``That's forcing us to find ways to improve our cars.'' "
