t/m 5: Mazdaspeed Concepts:
The Mazdaspeed concept models combine great
driving performance and everyday user-friendliness and
durability to reach a higher level of sophistication.
For manufacturers, they are totally-balanced tuning
models that take the best characteristics of a base
model to their maximum. Aeroparts and cooling ducts
commonly used in Mazdaspeed models which improve the
coefficient of lift (CL) values and do not impinge on
the coefficient of drag (CD) values have been fitted
to these concept models. Sporty-yet-comfortable driving
is achieved through performance dampers which complement
the original suspension and dampers. The importance
placed on PCM tuning and exhaust parts tuning provide
great support in making the 3D Net Sports seats comfortable
enough sit in for extended periods of time.

t/m 8: Demio Haru Iro (Spring Colors) Collection:
Three elegant, unique body colors adorn the
Demio, captivating the eye and conjuring up images of
spring. The color lineup consists of a rich blue, seemingly
taken from the crystal blue sky of a crisp fall day;
a warm pink like that of a much-anticipated cherry blossom
in full bloom; and a smart shade of green found in fresh
spring scenery. Specifications that will tantalize the
sophisticate’s desire for the finer things in
life are addressed with accessories – such as
seat covers, floor mats, clutch bags and cushions –
which are coordinated with the unique exterior body
colors to raise the vehicle’s look of refinement.
And eco-friendly concerns have been considered by using
materials in the seat covers that will not generate
dioxins even if they are burned.
