Doesn't look special at all. It said it has improved handling characteristics, what has Mazda done to the car?
This will be sold in the US right?

Black mica is a color on other Mazda vehicles so keep a lookout for the color. I think it is available on 3 and one or both of the CXs.

It's Mazdas new marketing strategy. Come out with 4 or 5 limited editions to sell a car that won't sell. Just like Caddillac. They now have the CTS Bose edition with a Bose stereo. A Bose stereo is an option on all CTS models. What's next the RX-8 Supeataiya edition? By the way supeataiya means spare tire in Japanese.

The "special" eds seem to be very popular in Europe. The UK seems to get a few of them.

I am based in Britain and have just purchased the Kuro having looked at other options available. Not really that different except perhaps the stone leather.

The price was such though that would have been stupid to buy the standard models.

I believe Kuro means black in Japanese
