    I think I've found the perfect song for Mazda ads once they retire Zoom-Zoom:

    This highlights the problem all crossovers have: how to blend car-like upper-body shape into a truck-height front end.


    Typically, your options are a massive pseudo-skidplate over the front suspension (Cayenne) or a massive airdam/intake/chin thing (case-in-point).

    I like. Whereas I do not like the new Mazda3.

    The animal rights activists were grumbling to Mazda over the size of their front intakes. The concern, as you point out, was that geese, a flock of small birds, or squirrels could get sucked in and mangled. That's why Mazda put the plastic honeycomb all over the openings.


    They knew what happened to Yoplait when skunks started getting their heads stuck in the containers.

    @engineerd thinks cannoli is deserving of a star:


    and birds, when they got their heads stuck in the plastic soda rings, and girls in high school who used hot dogs..actually those got stuck in, oh nevermind.

    Mazda's new styling meme seems to be clown mouth, with oversized, smiling grill openings that give the impression of a manically cheerful demeanor that reminds me of nothing more so than:


    Ummm-hum.

    I really don't like any part of this fascia. The chrome is way overdone, and the black mesh looks like lath waiting for an application of stucco. Or chicken wire, maybe.


    Take that Mazda plate off the front, and it's a snapping turtle.

    I am a one man jury, and I'm still out on this one.


    I like the silver CX-7, without the foglights, but the blue CX-7 just looks a little off


    Kind of like when someone is missing eyebrows.
    You know something is wrong, you just can't quite figure out what it is.

    I liked the new Mazda face at first...but this is too much. Not every model has to wear this goofy clown smile. It looks fine on the Miata and the Rx-8, but come on, this is just too much.


    Keep in mind though, this is coming from the guy who absolutely LOVED the Subaru grille from 05-07. The Aviation 3 parter? Totally awesome.

    The structure behind it seems more interesting. Does it exist?

    "5. Seriously, you could suck a flock of Canadian Geese through those things."


    You're referring to the Hamilton-based cover band?

    This one has lip gloss on. Won't make it any prettier though.
