As long as I’ve been reading and writing about cars, Mazda has served as a sort of anti-hero counterpart to the automotive giants, namely Toyota. Like, check any comments section of any sort of news information about any given Toyota (especially hybrids) at any time between 2003 and, well, now, and it won’t take very much time to find a guy calling someone sheeple for opting for a Prius rather than a stick-shift Mazda 6 hatchback.
