Officially Efini?

With the new revised Rx8s set to be sold in Japan thru Mazda and Mazda Efini dealerships......

Does it technically mean that the rx8 can now be classified as an Efini car?

Bottom line... is it still rice if an 8 puts on the efini badges?

You're missing out one important part -- if he converted it to RHD, then there is no rice.

Rice even in Japan because there are no specific "Enfini" cars anymore. Everything is just Mazda...

Demio, Verisa, Axcela, Premacy, Atenza, MPV, Mazdaspeed Axcela, Mazdaspeed Atenza, Roadster, RX-8... and kei (micro) cars.

They are nice looking badges. I like the look of them better than the flying M but I have refrained.

They are a Mazda badge though, it is not like putting Lexus badges on a Toyota. Right?

Wouldn't it be like installing the rising sun Mazda emblem on our cars?

It is on the Millenias and some of the FDs, it almost looks like two hands cupped with a circle around it. Also called the flame emblem



This one is good:

Just Lucky.

I am not as keen on the flame emblem as it was tough to differentiate it from some other car maker's like Hyndai.

It's not a flame, it's a toilet seat. I like the upgraded logo much better.
