On Monday, we presented this week's shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Today we have our winner, repeat victor Moshimo, who was the first commenter to correctly identify the stick as belonging to the 1977 Mazda Cosmo.
The Cosmo shown here was featured in our April 1977 issue. Despite being named Car of the Year in Japan, the Cosmo never struck a chord in America. We found it to be a pretty quick little coupe, one that easily revved to 7000 rpm. With a standard five-speed transmission, the Cosmo even eked out a 32-mpg EPA highway fuel-economy estimate. So what wasn't to like? The Cosmo's suspension setup was poor and it looked unpleasant.
