Ward's 10 Best Engines list is completed by Mazda Motor Corp.'s unique Renesis rotary engine. This 1.3L powerhouse returns for a second year fronting the same impressive design advances and spectacular power output, in relation to its size, that virtually guaranteed a win in 2004, its first year of availability. The Renesis rotary's second consecutive win is "testimony to the extensive long-term engineering Mazda has devoted to the Wankel design," says Visnic. Mazda currently is the only auto maker building a rotary engine for a series-production car.

To determine whether websites of different countries or languages are proportionally represented by search engines, it would be useful to know the distribution of websites over countries or languages. However, this information is difficult to obtain, due to the sheer size of the Web and its constant change. Grefenstette and Nioche (2000) showed that non-English language sites were growing more rapidly than English sites. In 2002, 72% of Web content was in English (OCLC, 2002). However, it was estimated that by 2005, less than 50% of the Web content would be in English (Peters, 2002). The Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) carried out large-scale studies to estimate the size of the Web and to obtain country and language statistics (OCLC, 2002).
