It's not like they stretched the HP numbers on purpose. As they said, they got a certain HP rating with the pre-production model and (if memory serves) changed a part between pre-production and production and never ran the HP test again. Something with changing a part dropped the HP rating.

I don't believe that Mazda intended to fool the public, as that would have very easily backfired if people went to the press with this before Mazda.
