Default Euro version, chief.....they didnt have the US spec model yet....but they are really the same....

Audi just does a bit of CYA for marketing purposes....unlike ford or mazda.

Default no....Mazda screwed up and rated the Miata with an overly optimistic hp rating....

has nothing to do with Eurotrash HP ratings (DIN) compared to American (SAE) ratings.........
