Yes, and i know there are reasons Mazda chose not to sell them outside of Japan. The #1 reason Mazda continued to develop the Rotary in standard cars is because on paper, a 1.0, 1.2, 1.3 rotary is still a tiny displacement engine and therefore can be taxed less. This is a big plus for a regular car buyer.
