Oh, mute the music. ZoomZoom 03-14-2003, 11:58 AM Cool video! bwayout 03-14-2003, 12:55 PM Yeah, thanks for the link! :cool: ZoomZoomH 03-14-2003, 01:07 PM i see winning blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! m477 03-14-2003, 03:24 PM The yellow was sweet, it almost plowed into that deer though. :D CraziFuzzy 03-14-2003, 03:33 PM Originally posted by m477 The yellow was sweet, it almost plowed into that deer though. :D Was most that footage from the Best Motoring Magazine footage? I know I've seen the shot with the deer before. I wonder if Mazda got the footage from BM, or the other way around... PoLaK 03-14-2003, 03:39 PM can some1 post i can't ever seem to get the buffering down with the high b/w version. chinx 03-14-2003, 07:55 PM what was the deal with the deer? it was kinda weird. think that was accidental? the yellow looks great! wish they'd shown some drifting footages on laguna seca chinx 03-14-2003, 07:58 PM by the way, does anybody know if the low-profile trunklid spoilers are on the us-spec cars? perhaps w/ the grand touring pack? but it's not listed and none of the us publicity pix shows them, but i think they look great. i'm assuming the headlamp washer isn't gonna make it here MRX 03-14-2003, 09:32 PM Looks like just about all of the clips were taken from the Best Motoring video mixed in with that lame Mazda Japan song.

I wonder if Mazda got the footage from BM, or the other way around... All of the footage is from the Best Motoring March 2003 video (mostly from the "California Drive" segment, a little of "Intro" and "Laguna Seca"). But they replaced Motoharu Kurosawa's commentary that "My Wish" song. Cheesy anthem rock, or that "Zoom-zoom" jingle, not sure which is worse.:eek: TJRX8 03-14-2003, 10:04 PM Originally posted by chinx by the way, does anybody know if the low-profile trunklid spoilers are on the us-spec cars? perhaps w/ the grand touring pack? but it's not listed and none of the us publicity pix shows them, ...

Who knows what they were thinking but the chance of hitting a deer makes one only think about the deer and not the car. Bad idea IMHO.

(at least the marketing guys there still do) Hopefully, MNAO will come up with some better music for the US commercials. MPester 03-15-2003, 02:46 PM Music in the video remind me of Bay Watch.

The french crashed a concorde and most people here were more worried about the concorde than the people on it!.. chinx 03-15-2003, 10:10 PM i know i'm gonna get bashed for this, but i like the zoom zoom song... the concord crashed again? oh no |
