Mazda Shinari Concept
« on: August 31, 2010, 07:13:18 PM »

This looks like a Mazda product I'd buy!  It looks to be derived from the RX8 but looks good for a 4dr car.

The Shinari concept, which roughly translates to "resistance to being bent," will serve as a the basis for Mazda's new design language, and many of the styling cues will make it to future production vehicles. That means that the Shinari will essentially affect the design of every vehicle coming from the Japanese automaker for the next several years. An important car for Mazda? You bet.

Infiniti Essence rear too, maybe that's exactly how a 4 door essence would look like?  Plus G37 clues here and there and M56 hood (less radical than the radical Catamaran Essence).  Maybe just the C-Pillar reminds the Jaguar.

What's up with the mirrors though?

maybe the mirror is really a camera that is linked to an LCD or something

It's odd, because the big advantage of using a camera is freedom of placement.  You could fit right beside the bodywork and it would still have no blind spots.

Just like the creases on the bumper, it has no real meaning, aero or otherwise.  Maybe it can be used as a weapon...

Unless it just a support for turn signals (front and rear), but no, that would be just dumb.

Yep, that's a simpler explanation... (and corrected a bit...)   Cheesy

yeah i was a big fan of the RX7, not necessarily a rotary guy, but the styling was great.  This looks pretty cool.
