Yeah, you are missing the fact that rotary engines are not very fuel efficient, and that only Mazda really knows how to build one.
The total rotary action is tempting, few moving parts, etc. Also compact size. Might be good as a on board motor-generator like the Fisker, or others that are always electric driven, hard to beat a modern 3-4 cyl DFI turbo multi valve powerplant though.
