Drilling down was interesting too. Followed a link on "Badge Engineering", which talks about how cooperative agreements between automakers (e.g. Ford and Mazda) lead to some interesting rebranding of models for sale in selected markets. I knew, from buying our daughter a car 12 years ago that the Mercury Tracer is actually Mazda 323; and the my Mercury Villager fleet vehicle was actually a Nissan Quest. However, I found it quite interesting that, in the U.S., the Saab 9-2x is actually a Subaru Impreza.
What's next? Will I find out that the Long-EZ was actually "SS 0.7"? ;)

Greetings, I stumbled across this page today, which seems like a pretty complete
history. http://www.answers.com/topic/mazda-wankel-engine
Cheers,
