When collecting my car today :D the dealer confirmed the Special Edition - $3000 premium on top of Leather Pack for sunroof, two-tone seats, polished wheels and some extra bling-bling. he though there would be a choice of two colours - the Cherry Black and a Metallic Grey.

Sounds to me like it's really another revenue generating plan by Mazda where it'll allow dealers to have higher gross profit retention.

Holden releases a limited edition Monaro every 12 months badged as a CV8R.
It comes equipped with pretty much the same extras (roof, polished alloys, unique interior trim and colour, etc) and they only demand $1000 over the normal model, not $3K.

Definitely a money making scheme from Mazda IMO.

The article didn't make it clear - is the sunroof a dealer or factory fitted option?

Can we ban anyone who turns up here claiming to own one? No prizes for guessing how I voted.
