Hope for fans of Mazda’s rotary-powered cars springs eternal, even when it seems like it shouldn’t. We can’t blame them, though, since Mazda’s own hope for the engine seems to be just as unstoppable. Mazda has always been playing with the rotary in the background, and it even relaunched the engine briefly in the MX-30 R-EV. Of course, it also just killed that model. It’s surely exhausting to constantly be on the cusp of the rotary having a glorious return, and this new trademark filing from Mazda isn’t going to help.
