It's an evolution of the Infini symbol previously used.

Yep, I actually prefer the original emblems myself. The only emblem I would change (and might) is the "RX-7" emblem where I like the look of the FB emblem instead.

Having seen the US version, the Australian version, the 95- JDM version, and the efini symbol...

I'd take either efini or 'nothing at all'

I like the toilet bowl..

Actually, I have no emblems now, but I prefer the bowl and the flying M. The Efini looks like superman or something. Not ragging anyone that has it though, just not my taste. I have one sitting at my shop, but haven't seen it on a car..

It may look that way, but I don't think that is true because that emblem was used on other cars, such as the 929.

I believe that pic is off my car, Byt I like them cause it's unique, and there are many brands people don't reccognize, like Koenigsegg, and that adds to the mystique of a car. Like you don't know what he's packing under the hood

DCrosby, come on now, most people, even if they knew it was a Mazda, or lets say the even knew it was an RX-7... the still seem to have no f*cking clue what's under the hood

Hello-

I like the toilet bowl, too.

Of course, I'm a sucker for the understated look... I like my montego blue with silver rims and no rear spoiler (the front R1 spoiler is nice). It has a quiet modesty... similar in spirit to a new Ferrari. Very clean and understated... yet fast as hell.

Course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong :-).

Take care,
Shad

I had the toilet bowl on the '94
<---
and I kept them on it... untill that day....

With the '93 someone removed all the emblems, and left the holes uncovered, when I bought it, so I decided to give the efini's a try and they grew on me... plus they fit in the stock holes
