I agree. Some of the early ones where the strange looking kid whispers "zoom zoom" were kind of interesting in a bizarre way. Although I don't think "bizarre" was a goal. It just ended up that way. They were meant to suggest a kind of youthful delight with a car that performs well.

"Joe Isuzu" is a classic campaign of course, but I don't think it translated well to sales. Life in the car biz.

The Mazda 6 launch ran late last year. The zoom zoom kid appeared only in the first spot where the car drove into a stadium. It was a head scratcher. Someone told me later that it was meant to say there was a new player in the arena. The rest of the spots were largely running footage and laundry lists of features.

As much as I like Mazda the company and the cars they produce, I can't remember a single Mazda commercial, ever. I remember seeing some, but not what was in them. As opposed to the "Joe Isuzu" series, which I'll never forget.
