> I was at our annual SOCALM meeting at the Mazda Headquarters in Irvine. At the end of the meeting, Rod Bymaster told us of two new models to be released
> sometime this year. Both prototypes were in the parking lot. One was an R model prototype. It had one of those Cobraesque twin racing stripes down the
> center of the car. It is a dealer option. Interesting, but I never thought much of those stripes, especially when they start to peel and crack. Had larger wheels,
> Bilstein shocks, larger sway bars.

> The other was the M model prototype. This one had a new color, the color that is used on the RX-7. I can't remember what the color was called, but it was
> xxxxx blue. If the sun hits the paint dead on, it looks green, any other angle and the color looks deep blue. This prototype also had the GLASS rear window
> and chome wheels. Can't remember if it had anything else special about it, but it was pretty cool. R model should be released within the next couple of
> months. Don't know about the availability about the M model, but it is not a limited edition like the BRG, but it just may be a special edition.
