What is Efini?
Yes, I DID do a search, but I got multiple answers.
I read that Efini is/was Mazda's premier line (much the way Acura is Honda's, and Lexus is Toyota's). Then I read that Efini is what the RX-7 is called in Japan. Then I read that Efini was a special model RX-7 manufactured up until 1999. Can anyone tell me for certain what Efini really is? Thanks. |
:dunno:

mostly 99 spec rx7's

it was sub-brand of mazda (yes, kinda like lexus with toyota). Efini had it's own dealerships - and carried certain models (rx7, mpv, 929...). Other sub-brands were autozam and eunos. Efini ended in october 97 - and from then on, all rx7s carried the normal mazda badging.
There is no 'special' efini version of the FD. |

Are you certain of your answer? Where did you derive this information? As I said I would like to know for sure, as there are so many varying answers. |

There is no 'special' efini version of the FD. So Efini was indeed a subsidiary of Mazda? i.e. Efini is a company name? Are you certain? |
Thank you all for your help. Rock on!! :celebrate |
I am curious however as to why non-rotary vehicles where given the Efini badge, which I assume is a rotor.

that answers.com info is not 100% acccurate. IIRC, they pull that info off wikipedia - which isn't the most reliable of sources. It's definitely 97.
the first FD to wear the 'flying m' logo (vs efini) was the rs-r (30th anniversary special) - in october 97. this is a good online source of info: http://13b.power.ne.jp/main_contents/tec/spec.html - it's written in there also - though you may need a translator (google, or whatever is popular these days) to see it. |
