What's Wrong With This Picture: Ham-Fist of Furai Edition

We should have seen this coming when Mazda first called its Furai and Nagare concepts “design studies” instead of “the unfortunate results of a savage brown-acid-and-Lovecraft bender at Mazda’s design studios.” New direct-injection, stop-start engines are approved for the European version of the new Mazda5, but as usual there are no guarantees they’ll make it to the US market version. More details when Mazda5 comes alive at the Geneva auto show.

    I'm holding out for the Roger Rabbit 'Toon Town edition. Really, I'd be embarrassed to have this thing parked in my driveway.

    I'm a Mazda fan, but I can't stand the Pokemon grille. The side swooshes aren't so bad, a little more coherent than anything Chris Bangle/Adrian van Hooydonk have dreamed up, but that grille... No worries: Ford is bring the C-Max over, looks infinitely better.

    Anthropomorphic personification. The Force is strong with this one.

    off topic a bit but the picture prompted me to ask... does anyone know the justification for amber reflectors on US spec cars? they don't seem to require them in the ROTW... i can't find any answers...even through the almighty google...
