The introduction of the M Edition was marketing genius on the part of Mazda. They did not have to adhere to automotive industry definitions of Limited Edition or Special Edition; they created their "own" edition which became just as coveted by Miata enthusiasts. The polished alloy wheels, offered on the '94 M Edition, were never again equipped on a US Miata from the factory. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/5361/94.html
**** found this on someones geocities page*********
The sick, sad irony is that the Montego Blue that made the 94M different from all other Miatae was later to become a nearly base color for 95-97, unlike the Merlot Mica, Starlight Blue, and Marina Green on the 95-97M's respectively (the Twilight Blue on the 97 STO was recycled in 99-00 cars). In fact, Montego blue had already been an RX-7 color for at least a year when then 94M was introduced.
Sadly, the Marina Green that would make Junior (my 97M) special was later used on...GASP!...Mazda's MPV Minivan #-o
There are a lot of unsolved mysteries about our car. I look forward to the next episode! OP - hope your question was fully answered. BTW, where have you been hiding? You seem pretty cool. We've had a lot of noobs of late but you're a lot cooler.
i love some merlot as well...and today was a sad day for me, i stripped down a merlot car ( maybe i can get the trunk or something...the only undamaged panel on the car and hang it on my wall..fucking art
As far as I can research it, the M doesn't have a designated meaning. At least it doesn't appear to be documented anywhere.
