Couger Ace (~5000 New cars scrapped)

Cougar Ace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
On September 11, 2006, one day before the Cougar Ace arrived in Portland to begin unloading, Mazda USA announced that none of the Mazda cars aboard would be sold as new vehicles. [12] Mazda USA published a list of VINs for the affected Mazda vehicles on the www.MazdaUSA.com website.

Old news, but new to me. The Oct08 issue of Car & Driver had an article on it, with some good pictures. Lots of Mazda 3s, a few hundred Miatas, and a few hundred RX-8s, among others.

I remember this - it was all over the news up here.
Made a neighbor mad when I said that scrap metal was the best use for a Mazda.
