There is a massive youth market in the US that would buy their cars with more FACTORY MODS...like they offer in Japan, but more and more engine varieties.

Mazda NA are really performing badly in sales when you consider other nations, they should have at least double their market share today.

Having said that I don't think MMC has the capacity to do much more unless they build another domestic plant...or units come out of China with the Ford/Mazda plant

But Yeah...FLUFF.

A little off topic, but I find it interesting that Mazda likes to use Japanese names for their special edition cars outside of their home market (i.e. Kuro, Shinka, Shinsen etc.). However, in Japan their special edition cars all have English names (i.e. Sports Prestige, True Red edition etc.).

Go figure, that's Mazda marketing for you...

And they use Caucasian models/pics in their Japanese web advertising.
