Why did Mazda miss the luxury brand boat?

I've always been a fan of the RX-7, moreso the FC than the FD. Would love to have one for an occasional drive/toy/track day car.

The way you guys are with red, is the way I am with blue. I hate most blue colors on cars. Very few exceptions that I like.

Outside of performance cars, red yellow orange & the like are not for me.
I'd have gotten blue on my F150, if Blue Jeans were available on the Sport.

Other than the fact that Mazda was late to the Japanese North American luxury market they also had Ford as their largest shareholder (33% at one point) which also provider stern direction, control and oversight.
Supposedly Ford exec's were never into the idea of a separate luxury Mazda line, since they saw how hard it was already having Lincoln and Mercury lines for Ford.
Friend's parents had a Millenia, pale comparison to a Legend. Handled like a understeering pig, ride was too soft, reliable, but nothing special driving wise.
