Is LSD an option on GT models? Or just Club?

Is the RF available in Club trim?

Great looking car.  I like this angle, more mauve than purple...

I really love the white pearl coloure on the new NDs.

How do you like the top? Do the buttresses impede on the open top feel of the car?

THE TOP IS FUCKING GREAT! It's the ultimate wind blocker. It impinges very slightly on the open top feel, but the positives of the reduction in airflow and wind noise dramatically outweigh the negatives.

My basis for comparison is the G37, which gets blustery thanks to the lack of any wind blocker and a back seat.

I don't know how that compares to the rest of the Canadian auto market, but with current exchange rates, that's like $33.5k USD. :huh:

Maybe the rest of their Mazdas are too cheap...?

Well for comparison, the Mazda3 5-door starts at $19,150 in the US, and $21,450 here. Most cars are typically only 5-15% more here even with the exchange rate. Low volume and luxe euro makes are 20% and higher.
