    @Murilee Martin: Yeah, that there is some effective marketing. Civilized but big, making big runs and of course cosmic...now available at Cosmo's Factory. (obscure vinyl reference).
    What would the US equivalent be? After all, Ford only went as far as "Galaxie"-- but they also took "Elite" --so the Pan-Nebulae Huge Powerful Sohisticate...?

    Here's an annoying but unforgettable one from 1972 - "Piston engine goes boing, boing, boing but the Mazda goes hmmmmm"

    @tonyola: I remember a strange emission-control-related quirk about these early RX-3s. If you gave it a long full-throttle blast then suddenly let off the gas, the car would sometimes give off a backfire that sounded like a 12-gauge going off under the floorboards. It supposedly was not harmful (except to the hearts of unprepared riders), but one was always tempted to look under the car expecting to see the exhaust system blown off.

    I was really hoping Jim Garner would pull a J-turn in that 929.

    Speaking from personal experience, Playboy and Wankelling have always gone together.

    Sadly, the only girls that would come up to you if you were driving that car now are meth-mouthed hookers.
