They don’t have a rotary right now, but they did bring out an inline six last year.

It was a pretty big deal when it came out, and as it was refined, but I think that either emissions or fuel economy eventually did in the rotary engine.

It was known as the Wankel rotary engine, with apologies to our English folk that see the obvious “Beavis and Butthead” humor in that name.
