Anyone catch the History Channel?

I can't seem to find the name of the show on History's website, it's not listed on the schedule(come to think of it I don't think it matched the title on ***'s guide).

Anyway, towards the end of the show they went to what appeared to be Mazda's Irvine location and while there the showed a foglight and what appeared to be a cooling duct(ala Mazdaspeed RX8) of a "top secret" project. The front clip was all in clay(not shown however) and from what they were saying the rest of the car was "real". They also showed the Kabura Prototype, where the Mazda rep(a Designer with a Swedish name) said something to the nature; that the Kabura is not available for purchase....yet.

Not sure if anyone is interested in this or not, but with all the buzz about a new Rotary I figured I'd share.

The only thing that I can find in the listings for the History Channel is "Our Generation". The episode is titled "Cars". It was shown on Friday @ 6:30e/5:30c.
It will be shown again Sunday 8:30e/7:30c. Set your DVR/Tivo's.

That had to have been it, the narrator kept mentioning baby boomers and future generations. It was actually a pretty interesting show, talked a little about hydrogen power as well.

The front clip in clay could be the RX-8 refresh.
