Any competent exhaust shop could make a copy of those. The carbon fiber tips are bling. The only thing you are paying for is the name.

Ok, that makes sense but when you title the thread "Legal" that puts a different emphasis on the post. If you had said something along the lines of "Check out how cool the new Mazda looks" then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

And yes, I agree that car looks great.

Here, have a random pic.

I like the way it looks and sounds. Makes me wish Mazda would bring back a hot version of the Mazda3

My son in law has one of those. It does look very cool.
BUT...
To get that great look the back seat is just slightly better than the 86! For a four door it is very cramped with little leg room and anybody over about 5’5” will hit their head every time there is a bump. The windows are little more than slits in a very high waistline and the space to get in and out is very limited and awkward. I rode back there for about 10 minutes and am not sure I would want to do much more. Even the front seats don’t have much space and you sit shoulder to shoulder with the driver. All in all it is a four door car with a worse feel inside than some sports cars. This is the compromise they made for that cool looking roofline.

I thought you had to provide your own dice. If car makers provided dice they would get it wrong.
