Over the years, when the subject was a particularly evocative and toothsome automobile, car writers have regularly careened off the road and into hyperbolic comparisons to beautiful women. Maybe they were on to something. For sure, this new Mazda 929 is sensuously proportioned, seductively curved, and so sumptuously appointed inside that all your nerve endings want to get naked and cavort on the plump forms of flawless leather. And, as happens with a beautiful woman, being in the presence of all this pulchritude tends to make a guy a little sappy. You keep thinking about the incredible rightness of shapes and feeling wave after wave of electric euphoria. Wow!

But pretty soon your mind has snapped back to its dreamy reveries and you're happy just being in the same picture with such...oh man!
