I agree. It is incredibly stupid to call it a mustache. That's the whole point. If the hairy teeth people insist on calling it a mustache, they must also think the opening is a mouth. And since they think it's a mouth, and since that "mouth" goes around the mustache, they must believe that mustaches grow from teeth.

I can only attribute that to their own direct experience of poor dental hygiene.
Meh. Calling it a mustache is just as accurate as anything else. So the line of the "mouth" goes around it, maybe it uses eyeliner to accent it's regal 'stache. Pretty damned strange shaped "mouth" anyway. Trying to be anatomically correct is a bit extreme.

Not as childish as continuing to pretend there's a mustache on a car when there clearly isn't.

I remember reading an article a while back about the Pontiac Aztec that said that in fact cars ARE designed to resemble faces in order to appeal to our affinity to animals used in former times as beasts of burden, so that we would become emotionally attached to our vehicles. That's the reason early steam vehicles gave way to a design that more closely follows a natural, four-legged animal design and why people were creeped out by design experiments like the "three-eyed" Tucker. The Aztec was a failure in large part because it didn't conform to that aesthetic, and as a result it looked "alien" or "mechanical." People looked at it and didn't recognize it. So they didn't buy it.

Furthermore, you can't tell me that those ridiculous Mazda front ends are not made to resemble a smiling face. That kind of foolishness doesn't happen by accident.

Not saying the design doesn't purposely take advantage of pareidolia, that is just why it works.

Aztec is just plain ugly and no one wants a Pontiac anyways. And it came out when GM was really hurting for customers
