Reading comprehension is your friend. He's saying that an R1 in todays market (read: dollar value) is $100k due to inflation. I dont think $100k is accurate but I gather it was just an exagerated example on his part. According to an inflation calculator that I found on line $40,000 dollars in 1993 is the equivalent of $59,208.98 in 2008. Source: http://dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm

lol Sorry about that, I was too busy laughing at a post on the west section when I typed this up

Cost isn't the issue. The FACT is that Mazda realized the 93 interior wasn't very good, so they improved it.

I wouldn't say that... It's cheaper in the long run for them to not use the painted surfaces rather than replace them under warranty for everyone. FWIW, my M3 painted panels chipped too (and they were replaced under warranty). However, they (as the 93 FD painted panels) look better than the plastic textured crap used on most cars.

I'm going to have to disagree with you Kyle. I think the 94/95 panels look much better than the 93's. I think you are with a small minority that feel the 93's look better. The tan plastic on some of the 93's is particularly ugly!!

That all said, what RX-7 cost $40k in 1992 or 1993, they were introduced at a very low price; under the 2nd gen if memory is correct quickly raising after the first few months, climbed to mid 20’s MSRP then on to mid 30’speaking at 42 k for touring model ($4k option) (R1/R2 was a $2k option) in late 1994-1995 before factory-to-dealer rebates to get last moved.

like someone said before, if your not willing to spend a few hundred bones here and there the FD is not for you, these are some of the most quirky mass produced cars there are.
