Did america ever have the Rx5 or did you skip from Rx4 to Rx7? Rx5's aren't common and they are increasing in value because of that...but i'm just wondering...are they not mentioned because no one likes them or did you guys miss out? lol i probably sound so stupid, but could someone please tell me

Honestly I always felt that here in the states we never got the RX-5. Since I've been a member of this forum however, I get the impression that at least in some states, the RX-5 was sold here briefly. I truly have never seen one. Hopefully, some other members might be able to offer more information.

yeh, they were the heaviest Rx, and it has just come to my attention that they may be what you call a cosmo?
US got this from 76-78.

I own one, I thought just like you guys, ugghhh!!!! But I picked this 78 Mazda Cosmo which is almost mint and it grew on me. It is my new daily driver!
Car consist of:
48 IDA Weber with K&N filter
Old school Rotary Engineering 13B 4 port streetport with all brand new internals to include rotor bearings, stationary bearings, modified e-shaft, mazda comp oil pump Racing beat Oil pressure regulator, solid cornerseals.
Light weight flywheel, Racing Beat 4 puck
Racing Beat E-pulley
Racing beat Header, Racing Beat presilencer, Racing Beat muffler 2 1/2 inch exhaust.
Very reliable, so far I have driven over 200 miles on it.
It is faster than a second gen non turbo RX-7. Once I get the engine broken in, I will mess with my Turbo RX-7 friends.
A/C works perfect, Power steering works and it has a disc brake rear end.
Best of all, it surely drives as smooth as a Cadillac. I am very impressed with that.....
I am in Virginia for those that want to check it out.
