Good find, Good Duck!
I guess I never considered that automakers (specifically Mazda) were designing components to better protect pedestrians.
I also found it interesting the hood of the RX-8 weighs less than the Maita's, and this design of hood will be incorporated in other Mazda models.
Thanks again.

Good find indeed! I was wondering how that worked. Apparently, other manufacturers are designing bumpers with pedestrian in mind.
I wonder if this hood will help Bambi next time we meet on the freeway...

Yeah... and when you park your new Rx-8 in the driveway for the first time overnight, the neighbors cat is going to come pay a visit and put some lovely dents in that aluminum hood... :D
