You're forgetting that in the rest of the world the Protege was the 323, then we always had 626, 929, 121, etc. They're just shortening the numbers, makes it sound cooler. Would you call the Mazda 3 a Protege? I wouldn't. It's different to the point where the name no longer fits it.

The Miata was MX-5 Miata, and Mazda still calls the new MX-5 "Miata" occasionally. Ofcourse we could just adopt the Japanese names, then we'd have Axela, Atenza, Premacy, Roadster. Big deal.

I've adopted the Japanese names. Mine is a Mazda Axela. At least that's what she says on the back of her.

I like my Familia badge as well. Everyone always asks what kind of car I have.

[MazKid]

Yeah I saw that on your Mazda 3. Pretty cool.

Thanks, MazKid.

What's an AMB display?

[MazKid]

Ambient Air Tempature. Basically the outside air temp. Not a big deal IMO, unless you have a major problem with your sense of feeling and can't tell what the tempature is, like it would matter anyway.

Huh, I've always liked those. It's a fun toy to have, even if it doesn't tell you a whole lot you didn't already know.
