Efini was to Mazda in Japan what Lexus is to Toyota in the US. You went to the Efini dealer and bought the Efini car.

You don't call it a Toyota Lexus LS400 .

It's just efini. In Japanese it's pronounced like Enfeni with a French style pronunciation of the En. All the parts have mazda stamped on them though. Just the badges and the actual car itself are efini.

Mazda Efini Rx-7

the title Efini in japan wasn't introduced until FD3S. which is why the badging for "Efini RX-7" is so unique to 3rd Gens only.
