News: Mazda debuts new designn concept!
I saw this article today on AOL news and honestly I do like the side profile of the car. Hopefully they actually stick with this design, it has a sort of super car look to it.
It's like a supercar 4-door grocery getter and that makes it even cooler IMO. Though I would definitely like to see this in a 2-door coupe version.
What are your opinions?

With the departure of Laurens van den Acker to Renault, Mazda's loved or loathed Nagare design language has been dispatched, and in its place is a new designer (Ikuo Maeda) a new theme, a new concept and a new name: Kodo.
Set to debut at the Paris Motor Show later this month, the Shinari concept is our first glimpse at the future of Mazda styling. The four-door design exercise evolves the Nagare theme into a more cohesive and – dare we say – production-ready form, toning down the massive grin currently found on the Mazda3 and other models, while incorporating new aluminum accents that are expected to proliferate through Mazda's future products.
Until the Paris show, these leaked image are all we have to go on, but judging by the hit-or-miss nature of Nagare, we like what we're seeing thus far. And if you're wondering, "Kodo" translates roughly to "soul of motion."
