The strength of Mazda rotary engines, high horsepower at very high RPMs, doesn't translate all that well to normal driving behavior compared to 4-strokes, and the low torque makes them less fun to those who just want to blast out a quick 0-70.
Well, people buy Hondas. They pack high-rev low torque engines. They just use a higher final ratio and a lower final overdrive gear to compensate. After all, its just (torque X RPM) / 5252.
