Late in 1996, Mazda dropped any pretense of Eunos being a standalone brand. Its products kept the Eunos name, but added the Mazda brand name as a prefix and were available across the broader Mazda dealer network. This led to a rather confusing period in Mazda showrooms, particularly at the higher end where the rechristened Mazda Eunos 800 and Mazda 929 overlapped in price.
