Mazda Showcases Customized Vehicles at 2005 SEMA Show

   - MAZDASPEED Continues to Be a Powerhouse in the Aftermarket Industry -

    LAS VEGAS, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking Zoom-Zoom to a higher level of
excitement, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) will display a range of
Mazda products modified with MAZDASPEED-branded accessories on such vehicles
as the RX-8, MAZDA3, MAZDA6 and MX-5 Miata at the 2005 Specialty Equipment
Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.
    Also on display at the show will be a full variety of MAZDASPEED and
Genuine Mazda Accessories.  Mazda continues to have the strongest, most
comprehensive selection of vehicle accessories in the auto industry.
    "The aftermarket industry has truly embraced Mazda vehicles and
MAZDASPEED-branded accessories, as demonstrated at the SEMA show," said Jack
Stavana, director of accessory operations for MNAO.  "Our accessories program
is one of the best in the industry, and becoming more-and-more exciting with
new products such as SIRIUS(R) satellite radio receivers, remote start
systems, fully warranted high-performance Cold Air Intake Systems, as well as
a full array of all-new accessories for the 2006 MX-5 Miata."
    MAZDASPEED accessories include items such as performance exhaust systems,
which can improve horsepower; springs, struts, shock absorbers and stabilizer
bars that flatten out handling; performance brake parts, which increase
stopping power while reducing stopping distance; and interior and exterior
styling parts to help every customer define their own vision of Zoom-Zoom.
    The comprehensive accessories program also makes cutting-edge media
products available to customers.  These include SIRIUS satellite radio
systems, in-dash single and six-disc CD changers, MP3-capable systems,
cassette players, MiniDisc players and the newly introduced PhatBox(R) Digital
Media Player.
    MAZDASPEED-branded accessories are available at approximately 375 specific
Mazda dealers across the country.  MAZDASPEED accessories are built
specifically for the vehicles on which they fit and are developed to the same
engineering and design standards used for the host vehicle, guaranteeing
perfect fit and operation.
