OK, so I was oddly charmed by this story on Jalopnik, about Mazda's plan to build a luxury brand (Pegasus/Amati) in the late 80s/early 90s that would have rivaled Lexus/Infiniti/Acura.

Unlike the author, I don't find anything inherently implausible about it. If Infiniti could survive it's dumbass launch, why couldn't Amati? And while I remember hearing about it at the time (and knowing the Milenia was supposed to be an Amati), I didn't know about the goofy 4.6L V-12.
But all of that aside...
Mmm. Eunos Cosmo.
I hadn't paid that much attention to them, but I love how they're like a 12/10 scale Silvia/240SX but also mixed with Subaru SVX. And the interior is weirdly a mashup of something like a 928 and a Lincoln Mark VIIII.
A 3 rotor sequential turbo engine related to the one in the FD can't be that hard to maintain, right?
It looks like they trade for less than 20k...
