Nobody at the moment knows because Berjaya hasn't released the specs. All we can do is guess.

I believe the terms are sneaky and gullible.

From the posts above, most pinoys are smart.

You call some pinoys who make millions "gullible"? They are far from it...

Gullible in car buying. But of course in real life, hindi naman. Lalo na yung mga no idea sa cars. Kaya we have several casa that take advantage these "gullible" customers during pms

Hmmm. How do we connect the dots here?:D....
Political correctness aside, marketeers are known to prey on the nouveau riche & the suckers....the kind born every minute.
Take it as a joke, guys...no offense meant.:D

Hopefully the majority will be smart enough to see through such ruses (then again there are the TRD Vioses and Mugen Citys). I really hope Berjaya will really put the "speed" on the Mz2 Speed (maybe put the higher compression 1.5 from the 3), at least a strut bar like the Ralliart Mirages and maybe adjustable shocks like the 323 Speed back in the 90s.

Who knows?....Mazda, so far, has surprised everyone! Was never into the badge, but it has sold me by the hobo-est of Sky variants.

No sucker here obviously.:D
Sadly, the current speeds they have are all cosmetic....

I believe the forums do count for something. Potential buyers come here to listen & feel the chatter.....
But still, w/ the number of 'speeds' sold & roaming, it's obvious that many still fall to the lure of so-called TOTL. There is that undeniable draw towards bling, bragging rights & the saddest of all....CHROME.

Fortunately, Mazda knew better to skip the chrome overload. Haha.
Best excuse? That 'Different strokes for diffrent folks' cliche, of course.:D
Me? Life has taught me happiness is a state of mind....Hoboism is my voted choice.:D

Nothing wrong with offering a TOTL model. What peeves me is when they start slapping slapping arbitrary badges, especially those evoking "go fast" marques and charging a premium despite the actual model having none of the actual "go fast" characteristics. Even the so-called premium Soul Red, my wife has PhD in chemistry and she wonders why it costs extra when its actually more expensive and harder to make black paint.

*premium colors

Exclusivity my friend

The more expensive the color is, the fewer cars with that color in the street. If you are the kind of guy that is willing to pay for exclusivity without any really benefit, then spending on colors is the way to go. Come to think of it though 20k is just 1.5% of 1.2M, not really really big. Personally though, id rather spend the 20k on other things
