Mazda Millenia TA221 2.5 i V6 24V 4WS (200 Hp)


Mazda Millenia:

The Mazda Millenia is an automobile manufactured by Mazda in Japan from 1993 to 2002. The Millenia was originally planned as one of the first models for Mazda's proposed luxury brand Amati.
As it was targeted at a more upscale market from typical Mazda customers, the Millenia was engineered to far greater levels of perceived quality than the more mainstream Mazda cars, such as improved interior plastic quality, smaller panel gaps and a thicker, more even paint coating, thanks to a novel process of painting the body while it rotated on a massive spindle. Mazda claimed this attention to detail was intended to set "standards for at least ten years"....(Read more on Wikipedia)
