I noticed that the magazine mentioned that Mazdaspeed were a division of 

Mazda, but I am pretty sure that,  although they may have been at one point, 

they are NOT anymore.  I could be wrong though :-)



PS I figured out why magazines are dated months in advance. The above 

mentioned magazine appeared in the US in July, I bought mine in September, 

the day it came into the shop here in New Zealand.
