[0054] LET THE EXPERTS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTARY-ENGINE MAZDA.

WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT ROTARY ENGINE CARS?

FORTUNE
"Mazda heralds perhaps the most basic change in automobiles since their invention. For the rotary engine has emerged almost abruptly as the coming prime source of automotive power.... FORTUNE
"A car that may reshape the industry's future.' FORTUNE
"The rotary is in a position analogous to that of the jet aircraft engine in the late 1950's, with advantages in performance and cost that make it all but irresistible." FORTUNE

PLAYBOY
"The only moving parts in a rotary are the rotors, a balance weight, a flywheel and a shaft for the little ensemble to turn. Compared with the binful of gimmicks in a reciprocating engine, a stripped rotary is stark.' PLAYBOY

MOTOR TREND
"The Wankel rotary engine is so simple in concept, one wonders why it wasn't thought of before the reciprocating piston engine." MOTOR TREND
"... the biggest innovation in power plants since the turbine... MOTOR TREND

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"The engine is so amazingly simple that it might knock the old piston engine right off the road. In fact, the only moving parts are the rotors themselves, a balance weight, flywheel, and a shaft for the whole thing to turn. It's far lighter in weight than a small V-8 and takes only a fraction of the room inside the hood" CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"The Mazda power plant is a light- weight, almost vibration-free model that sends the car rocketing off like a scalded cat. Test drivers for U.S. automotive magazines have praised it highly; Car and Driver said it "will suck the doors off any other small sedan."' WALL STREET JOURNAL
"...auto men everywhere are beginning to see all kinds of other virtues in
the Wankel. One of them is that the engine is smaller, lighter and less com-
plicated than its piston counterpart. It has 40% fewer parts and weighs one third
to one half less than today's engines.' WALL STREET JOURNAL

ROAD TEST
"Toyo Kogyo has quietly produced over 400,000 rotary Mazdas to date, while others were just talking...The new concept is now familiar to owners in 80 different countries."' ROAD TEST
"As a result of our 85,000 miles of hard driving and subsequent analysis, we're led to only one conclusion - the rotary engine is uncontestably a practical here-and-now alternative to the reciprocating piston engine.' ROAD TEST
"The basic design of the rotary engine minimizes wear and tear on the engine's components. The pounding of pistons, going up and down in reciprocating motion, which is then to be converted to rotary motion to turn the crank is removed in the rotary, in which power is generated from a basically circular motion.' ROAD TEST

CAR DRIVER
"Solely through the persistence of its engineering department, an intriguing concept was adapted to the grim realities of durability, mass production and emission requirements. And along the way, the Mazda line also acquired the traits that identify Super Coupes. Their RX-2 is proof positive of Mazda's success both in engineering and marketing, and their newest addition, the RX-3, has reopened the Mazda Super Coupe store with lower price tags and a bigger selection on the shelf." CAR AND DRIVER

HERALD EXAMINER
"a revolutionary automobile." L.A. HERALD-EXAMINER

U.S.News & WORLD REPORT
"An official of the Toyo Kogyo Company, Japan's No. 3 auto manufacturer, which has pioneered in the promotion of the rotary engine, makes this prediction: 'Within 10 years almost all automobiles produced in the world, including those made in Detroit, will have rotary engines.' U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT

The New York Times
"The key to the Wankel is simplicity... This type of engine has relatively few moving parts, which results in a compact package and one that is extremely quiet.' NEW YORK TIMES
