Aftermarket mod =/= Mazda concept car.

Sorry but it's actually a trick question.... there hasn't been a Mazda/Mazdaspeed concept that hasn't been produced, at least not in the past 10 years or so

Here is what you all need to know: I would buy one if Mazda built it for the US. Today.

i dont know what point you are trying to make but i still dont see this happening

Although they've been having problems selling late year models where I come from, Mazda will have made a mistake by not making this work especially if the economy does well in the foreseeable future.

I dont think they would have problems selling these at all. S2000's went for over $50,000 in Canada so why couldnt this sell for under $40,000? Would this model be remembered by car historians? I think it would but more importantly Mazda should think it needs to be.

asking if a mazdaspeed miata would be remembered means that it was already forgotten.

I have to say Im not a Mazda fan with the exception of them winning the 24hours of Lemans in the early nineties with a Wankel engine. However being an automobile enthusiast, I do respect their recent ad at one time claiming along the lines that they are the most tracked brand in America. Honestly I enjoyed watching the Miata series as well as the Mazdaspeed6 going nose to nose vs the TSX a few years back. I can recall it was pretty close battle. Damn I miss premium cable.

If you're talking about the Speed Challenge...Those were actually Mazda 6's running worked NA 2.3's that went up against the TSX's.

That for letting me know. It had Mazdaspeed sticker's on it

I thought the same too...until I got up close and personal with one.
Another cool fact...the tail lights are painted on those Mazda 6's.

Thats because Mazdaspeed is a tuning house and Not just a model name. Dont think it would be fair to put the ms6 against the tsx either
