Haha, 100% after 2 votes. Yeh, I like zoom-zoom as well. It's exactly what it feels like to drive it. Proves you can have fun in a car with under 200hp too.

hmm, out of all the car slogans out there I think Mazdas is the best....followed by volkswagen... "Drivers Wanted".

Like a rock = ghey
Built Ford Tough = it'll break down just after warranty


I can't think of any of the top of my head except for that horrible toyota ad where everyone jumped to "catch the feeling".

Lol, remember the old 'Maaaaazdaaaa, Passion for the road!' ads. Those rocked, lol.

Does Honda have a slogan anymore? Besides that stupid civic nation thing?

And what's with Nissan? Shift 2.0?

Lol, I remember that. It's actually a typo in the poll. Should read as 'Passion for the road'.

if there were just a "no" option I would have chosen that. I don't like it. but I don't think its childish. I do like the font of the sticker that I got tho.

I wish I had some sort of a suggestion of a better one. But the slogan doesn't really matter. The cars pretty much speak for themselves.

i would definitely agree with you, big rick. it's a little too happy happy for me. the cars do sell themselves based on their merits. i like the mazda3 "who would buy a corolla?" and mazda6 car-indicates-age ads as of late. way to stick it to the camry and accord.

I haven't really seen Mazda using "zoom zoom" as a slogan in the past few years. Yeah, they use it as some sort of call to action or rally cry, but the slogan I've seen them using is "Mazda: Always the soul of a sports car"

I like it so much I had Jackelope make me up some stickers with the letters in outline. I have one on the third brake light of my Speed6. I do still have a soft spot for the old "piston engine goes boing boing...but the Mazda goes hmmmm' spots from long ago. Of course I do love rotaries so that explains that.

Natey that ad was awesome! I wonder how far the *** of the guy who was driving the bulldozer was puckered?

There is a Mazda ad, never seen it in the States and I can't recall if I saw it on their site or somewhere else. No talking just music, talks about how some people have this affinity for a certain type of car at a young age and then goes from there. Kind of puts a lump in my throat. It is way cool.

I know it's on youtube and a few mazda web sites.

here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7XuL...elated&search=

everyone should be forced to watch it!

edit: I tried contacting a few places at Mazda corporate to see if I could buy a DVD or at least a higher quality copy of the video, but no response
