I was always rather fond of the Mazda 3 (as far as FWD hardtops go),
but this last year it looks like they beat it with the same ugly stick
that they first used on the RX8.

I guess I understand the desire for a "corporate identity", but
couldn't they have come up with a classier identity?

Are they trying to target the same customers as alienware PCs?

Next thing you know Mazdas will all come the plexiglas hoods,
transparent light-up fan-blades, and CCFL UV lamps illuminating
florescent cabling and hoses.

Maybe I'm just getting old...
