Nope. Just another name for the FD (I think it might have even been limited to specific series's, don't quote me on that though since I just woke up, and am not entirely sure)

no you won't. Many of us have the efini badge on our cars. As the FD came with a rather ugly emblem. Depending which way you look at it, it's either a toilet bowl or an alien for outer space. Nevermind the flyling M emblem now that's gay.

Given that its just another FD name, its widely accepted.

you are kind of right


from wikipedia:

In the late 1980s, Mazda diversified in the Japan market with the launch of three new marques. The company created Autozam, Eunos, and Ẽfini, in addition to the Mazda and Ford brands already marketed there. This experiment was ended in the mid-1990s.

The Ẽfini name and logo originated in several limited-edition RX-7s from the late 1980s. As a brand, it encompassed most, if not all dealers formerly under Mazda's "Auto" dealer chain.

The Ẽfini marque was a sport-oriented brand, as opposed to the more comfortable, luxury-oriented Eunos. Today, Mazda continues to use the Ẽfini name as one of the company's dealership chains, along with Autozam, but the vehicles sold no longer use it. This included the following vehicles:

* 1990-1997 Efini MPV/Mazda MPV
* 1991-1993 Efini MS-6/Mazda Cronos
* 1992-1997 Efini MS-8 car unique to the brand
* 1991-1993 Efini MS-9/Mazda 929
* 1991-1996 Efini RX-7/Mazda RX-7
