In the late 1980s, Mazda diversified in the Japan market with the launch of three new marques. The company created Eunos, Autozam, and Efini, in addition to the Mazda and Ford brands already marketed there. This experiment was ended in the mid-1990s.

The Eunos marque, which was the luxury, upscale brand compared to Autozam and Efini, was named for the ancient Greek "eu" meaning "good" and "nos", an abbreviation of "numbers" in English. The Marque was launched in Japan with the Eunos 500 in January, 1992 and many of the vehicles created were exported to other markets.
1989 Mazda Eunos Astina 100 hatchback. Mazda Astina was a five-door hatchback with excellent rear seat ingress/egress and cargo capacity. Apart from practicality, Mazda wanted to create a perfectly stylish model and developed a uniquely stylish exterior with low hood achieved by adopting retractable headlights, bold front face and stable rear view created by thick and robust C-pillar. The Eunos 100, sold through the Eunos channel, was powered by 1.8-liter engine with wing-type rear spoiler that highlighted sportiness. (source: Mazda)
