and from this pic it appears to be on the one with the pissers and the clear sidemarkers. note that the clear sidemarkers are on a left hand drive model. but that means it is also the car that has the rear foglight.

The front end of the one with the clear turning lights also has under the front headlights those areas that in an other thread guessed that they were headlight washers ...



Hey I wonder if Mazda will also offer a rear wing?

Edit: Oh, Is that what you mean by "pissers?"

I'm usually anti-rear-wing/spoiler, but I could live with the small lip spoiler Hercules pointed out on one of the silver cars. It's not too showy or attention grabbing. The last thing with want is unwarrented attention from our local law enforcement officers.

The spoiler reminds of me of the 350Z spoiler, I wish it a little more pronounced than being a bump on the trunk. I was hoping for an elegant wing such as the ones that came std on the RX-7 from the factory. Something that would follow the lines of the car.

Damn, I really wish/hope the US version of the car has that rear fog lamp.....it makes the tail end look more "complete."

...AND SAFE! There have been a few major fog related pile-ups in the area I drive through every morning.

The spoiler is most likely part of an areo package. Maybe the foglight will be an option in the US.:D

I like it, but if it were to come on my car, I would have it molded nearly as soon as i got it. Personally I hate having lines on car that aren't natural or look as if they are put there as an after-thought.

Post Special Package

I wonder if the headlight pisser/front/rear foglight/spoiler will be part of a special package, since they all seem to be present on only one car there. Maybe some kind of luxury package with heated seats and navi??

One can only wonder...

to quote myself from a couple of days ago:
try to follow this thought and see if it makes sense to you:
1) if the pic of the shifter, nav controls and bun warmer switches was taken at the same time, then it could be a pic of one of the silver cars since there are no red inserts in the seats.
2) the car with the orange side markers does not appear to have foglights.
3) the car with the clear sidemarkers has the fog lights and the lip spoiler.
4) so if the car with the lip spoiler et al is the one with the nav this could be part a package, maybe the "sport" package which would mean it has the stiffer suspension, without the body roll that some of the reviewers mentioned.
