Guys,  I'm sorry to report that NEITHER the British nor the American  
pronounciation of "Mazda" is even close to the "proper" pronunciation in  the

You know how people can ask that their own name be pronounced one way on  
another? You say tomato, I say Tomahto!  The father (currently, at least)  i.e. 
the owner of Mazda - Good ol' FORD motor co. says "Mahz-dah" - That should  
turn on a light bulb! (inside joke). Mazda? - light bulbs? oh Well!
