        Reply to:   RE>>MAZDA lettering on from of the miata

Mazda NZ calls them MX5's BUT Mazda Japan makes them in the Eunos =

factory (correct me if I'm wrong) and sells them as Eunos Roadsters in =

Japan.

Here in NZ it is common to import nearly new cars second hand from Japan

because they are cheaper so the majority of cars sold in NZ are=20

"japanese imports" =20

My cars have sill plates etc with Eunos Roadster etc on them and the =

MAZDA name is not to be found anywhere except on the aluminium head and =

some of the electrical parts.  The badges on the back say EUNOS on one =

side and a styilised ROADSTER on the other. And as Larry pointed out our =

Eunos badge on the front is a chevron in a circle like Sargeants =

stripes.  My cars have these in the center on the factory alloys also.

They don't call them Miatas in New Zealand?

What's this Eunos Roaster stuff?
