Recieved this e-mail, normally would just delete it. But I clicked on the link. The survey is about Mazda. The link won't get you anywhere because I've already taken the survey.

In summary, it's obvious that Mazda wants to know if the public looks at them as a "sporty brand" and "if I've heard of MazdaSpeed."

One question was interesting: What 2 cars do you think of when you think of Mazda?
