Mazda Preps for 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon

Good luck at the show, Mazda!

Mazda will showcase a full range of customized cars, including special editions of the new CX-5, roadster and RX-8, at the upcoming 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon.

The annual custom-car show (January 13-15) is Japan's equivalent to the fall SEMA show in the U.S.

Mazda plans to display two versions of the new CX-5 crossover, which made its global debut this fall at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show and arrives at U.S. dealers in February. In addition to the standard production model, Mazda will unveil a special-edition CX-5 with lower ride height, matte-black alloy wheels and red exterior paint.

An updated version of the Mazda Roadster Black Tuned is fitted with BBS wheels, Bilstein height-adjustable shocks, Brembo brakes with gold-painted front calipers and Recaro seats.

The customized Roadster will be joined by the RX-8 Spirit R, the final edition of this rotary-powered sports car that ends production next June. The RX-8 Spirit R gets 20-inch BBS rims, Brembo brakes and lower ride height.

There will be two versions of the Demio (sold as the Mazda 2 in the U.S.), including the Demio 13-Skyactiv Smart Stylish with M'z Custom front under-spoiler, side skirts and rear underskirt; the Axela (Mazda 3) Sport 20S-Skyactiv with front airdam skirt, rear bumper and rear roof spoiler; and the Premacy (Mazda 5) 20S Prestige Style with 19-inch alloy rims, rear underskirt and chrome trim.

Inside Line says: All in all, a pretty modest showing from a small, but well-regarded brand.
