Mazda 121

The Mazda 121 designation is a series of Mazda vehicles for export from 1975 to 2002. Although the Japanese automaker used the Mazda 121 nameplate on a sports coupe, it eventually adopted the name for subcompact cars sold internationally. The first Mazda vehicle designated as Mazda 121 for the export market was the Cosmo, a 2-door fastback coupe akin to the Mazda RX-5 but had an inline 4-cylinder engine rather than a rotary engine.
