What kinda of old school rotry is this?

hey i found this when i typed rx-5 on google images, but i can't find any information, i am sure it's not really called an Rx-5 and that is why. i know an rx-4 is a luce, but this body just look fantastic and i want one, bad. so if you can tell me what year these bodys were made, and the name, it would be helpful thanks yall.

It really is an RX-5. Google image search Mazda RX-5 and there are dozens of pics of them.

Known internationally as the RX-5 the North American versions were badged Cosmo, keeping inline with JDM versions.

They are rare but usually very cheap. Here is one for sale.
