The RX-8 is a fun model to begin with, despite the few small issues that it has.
Mazda might consider a switch on the city named in their press releases.
An commercial press release datelined "Hiroshima' might not
be the smartest PR.
Of course, it might work for them if the Mazda is so good that kids
refer it as "da bomb".
I remember the Wankel as being very poor on fuel economy. The early Mazda models didn't improve on that. Maybe they have made some improvements in later models.
