I don't know so much about this Mazda. Is it true it was only for sale in Australia? I thought it came on the market in 1989. A very modern and luxery car for that time! Cruise control, leather seats, touch-screen (!) and more things. And under the hood a 3-rotor engine

Actually, the Eunus was only sold in Japan. But I guess you can find them a little bit here and a little bit there anyway. I know there are a two of them imported to Norway.
I found some info for you: The Eunus was Mazda's answer (the first answer, before Xedos) to Toyota's Lexus. It was a monster machine... 300 hp and 400 Nm at 2500 rpm (officially) and measured some 30 hp more and it was said you could cream out a few more also... The car weighed 1700 kg but made it to 62 mph in around 6.5 seconds. With an automatic!! |

Hi Matt Mazda,
Yes Australia did have the Eunos models in Australia !!!! Just to confirm !!!!!!!!! We had 3 models..... THe Eunos 30X, which was actually a rebadged Mazda MX3 hatchback with Luxury appointments. The Eunos 500 - a smallish sedan between size of 323 and 626, very stylish.... The Eunos 800 - A large sedan bigger than the 626, with 2.3 miller cycle engine & regular 2.5 V6 We didn't have the Eunos Cosmo Model, that one was only for Japan I believe....... Rod The Eunos range has been discontinued now........ |

Correction...the Eunus COSMO was only sold in Japan...but there were other Eunus models also sold on other markets in Asia also, but not in Europe or USA. |

The Eunos 30X -> MX-3 The Eunos 500 -> Xedos 6 The Eunos 800 -> Xedos 9 You're probably completely right... Anyway, all Eunus/Xedos have been discontinued since Mazda6 is the new flagship...:) |
