Blake, are you doing anything with this? cc'ing chrisn since this is a fairly
major site we don't work with.
This site uses layer related functions. 
We should recommend alternatives.
Reassigning evangelism bugs to bclary@netscape.com.

Not only do they completely block us now, but they don't even do it correctly.  
The redirect recursively when they detect the mozilla browser, resulting in an 
error message being displayed (recursion limit exceeded).  As Aillon said, see 
bug 117150 for more details.

Any progress on this?
reset target date for September.

Using Mozilla 1.1-release I see:

"WELCOME TO MAZDAUSA.COM
MazdaUSA.com is optimized for Internet Explorer versions 4.x and 5.x and 
Netscape 4.x. To experience the most from this site you can download Internet 
Explorer or Netscape."

Using uabar to spoof "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)" the page 
at least renders (somewhat), but the main graphic appears under the left 
sidebar and mouseover menus don't work properly in the left sidebar, and it's 
not immediately clear to me why not...
The site is not currently Mozilla compatible and they are working on it. No need
to comment on their current code.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
They seem to have missed their target by more than a quarter.  Too bad I already
own a Mazda, otherwise I could claim I'm postponing my purchase until they fix
their web site...anyway, can the target milestone be updated?

Summary: mazdausa.com does not work with mozilla/N6 → mazdausa.com - does not work with mozilla/N6
I've talked to David Mathews at Mazda USA. He tells me last summer, they fired
the consulting firm that did the website, based partly on the fact that it
doesn't work with Mozilla. Since then, they hired one that knows how to code
better, and are the process of refactoring it.  They have started with the new
models pages, and new sections (done in JSP, with Moz-friendly javascript and/or
some flash)

Their Performance corner: 
http://www.mazdausa.com/mazdaspeed/

And then to the RX-8
http://www.mazdausa.com/rx8

(that actually is forwarded over to their new platform)

I was told beta testing would start this month, with the rollout sometime after
that.   

This bug could be closed after that.
Looks like we can close this bug.  The mazdausa.com site has been updated, and
put on a new archetecture.  I think IBM had a hand in making the move over to
their new platform.
The only problem I now see seems to be the Flash animation on the page.

NS 1.3b: Initially white. Right-click, play works.

IE6: Initially Mazda logo. Right-click, play does not work.

Anyway, that is a different bug so marking this as fixed. Thanks everyone!
