Hey, Bill.



I agree - I think I like the '99 more - time to buy one?  I was afraid

that Mazda might screw it up and do the 240Z thing by making the car

more of a GT, with poorer handling, less acceleration, and heavier.

Instead they done the opposite - it is lighter!  What a pleasant

surprise!  Perhaps one the automakers has learned something here....



Oh, and that 3-spoke wheel?  My CDN '90 has a 3 spoke wheel but no air

bag - ever think of one of them?  I also noticed that the '99 3-spoke

wheel looks remarkably like my wheel, as a matter of fact.
