Kia Amanti vs. Mazda Amati ?

Anyone ever remember that mazda once planned to introduce new luxury
line called Amati ? I recall that the plan was dropped.
This was the time when Honda introduced Acura, Toyota with Lexus, and
Nissan with Infiniti lines.
Was this correct or am I imagining things?... It was Amati or
something that sounds like that.
I wonder if Mazda is still planning with the luxury line now.

Yeah. The car that was to be the first Amati model ended up
being sold as the Mazda Millenia. It had a "Miller Cycle"
engine, whatever that was. I seem to recall that it had
something to do with overlapping spark timing or something
like that, nothing very radical.
