Correct, the "fancy" term for it is Pareidolia. It is the human brain associating faces to anything closely resembling a face as part of a survival technique from when we were all naked and afraid....like after the last FT86Club drinking binge.

And yet the line of the mouth still goes around the bumper, which means that your exact-width mustache is still inside the mouth where the teeth would be.



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.

It's so cute when people feel they have to slip an insult into every one if their replies. Shows how childish they are

Putting aside the love hate of the mustache...

Does the BRZ having the mustache give it an air of sophistication?

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.
