Why did they just drop this engine?

Fuck me, why does America never get the good Japanese cars? It's not fair. All the cars we got that uses this engine natively weren't good enough for it, they were big and wallowy

If they put this in a small nimble light hatch then they'd have a Civic killer.

actually they put the KLZE & KLDE in the mx6 and the 626. yes i will agree this engine is good behind a manual transmission. plus the ZE has 10:1 compression ratio not 9:1 like the DE does
>>
>>15379358

That's what I'm saying
a KLDE in something like a civic hatch would be phenomenal
not stuck in their mid sized sedan

Fuck me, Mazda could have led the way if they kept doing r n d on this small v6
