I sincerely hope Mazda will revive the Millenia in North America in the next couple of years, replacing the Miller Cycle, with the RX8 Nemesis Rotary. The Millenia may not have done well with sales here due to the unknown factor with the Lysholm Compressor. Mazda however has refined the rotary, and I am sure it will hold its ground well against the competition the Miller Cycle Millenia faced from the the likes of the Lexus ES300 and Infiniti I35.
I do not believe it's in Mazda's interest to discard a luxury line. If I was truly happy with a Protege then I would go one step up to the "6". There is nothing beyond the "6" now, except for the new RX8.
I think all the weaknesses that readers express about the Millenias Miller Cycle will be overcome once it is launched with the RX-8 Rotary. I am eagerly waiting!
