I tend to agree. It suits the Miata but I don’t think it should’ve been a design cue that carried on so heavily throughout the brand’s models.

I think it was great for the rx8 and the speed3/6.

The others.... Not so much.

Generally not a fan of automotive anthropomorphism at all, but better than this than the angry/scowling/menacing faces attached to blandboxes these days. Aggression for the Walter Mitty set.

That CX-9 is especially bad. It some how amplified the piggishness of the car

It was decent on the Miata, OK on the RX-8, and that should have been the end of it.

I still think NC1 is the best looking NC. It has an NA style derpy grin, not a manic cocaine-laughing-face.
