Motor trend Car of the Year Sticker
I have a '93 FD delivered in July 1993 with a sticker in the lower left hand windshield. The sticker is the Motor trend car of the year 1993, black with gold. Anyone else have one of these? I wonder when they appeared on the car. I went to the trouble of having the sticker transferred to my new windshield. Thanks to Ray Crowe at Milloy Mazda for appreciating that and having the "glass guy" save the sticker.

That's one of those things that will be very sought after if the car becomes truly collectible. It's nice that you went to the trouble to save it.

To each his own. I purchased the last OEM Mazda winshield for a 93 FD, with bronze tint. It was in a warehouse in California, and Mazda crated it up and sent it out, in perfect condition. I'll post a picture of the sticker soon. The devil is in the details.

They were only on '93s as far as I know, since the '93 was the Import Car of the Year. I always thought it was a dealer add-on.
Ramy, get some of those suckers made up!

When I first got my car I showed that sticker to my friend with a 1990 TT 300ZX and he said his was car of the year 1990. So I said so you mean my car beat yours...
His expression was hilarious.

Constant threat
My '93 does not have a decal. Neither did the first '93 I ever saw and test drove, back in the summer of '92. Nor did a handful of cars I tested whilst looking for one to purchase.
Must have been some dealer option.
And yeah, I want one too!

No offense guys, I just love that picture. Someone's done this before, though:
