i dont like mazda at all.. personally i think all their call blows with the exception of the 3rd gen rx7, but then again, there are alot of reports of parts breaking and failing (interior/exterior) and the motor is somewhat sensitive and cant make torque for shit.. anyway, they might be the ONLY japanese car maker to win at LeMans with the 787B, but thats it.. i mean, i give them credit for that but thats about it, unless u wanna give them credit for creating the maita mx-5 genre of affordable chick convertibles.. however, if u take a look at nissan, mitsubishi, subaru, honda, or toyota, they all have more than one major win.. Honda has F1, CART, and (all the major superbike challenages if u wanna count); Toyota has F1, Top Fuel Drag, CART, even "minor" league NASCAR; Nissan has the GTR reecking havoc on the JGTC and abroad; Mitsubishi and Subaru have the WRC repesctively.. so to some it up Mazda is wacked!!!
