pIn an unusual departure from industry practices, A HREF=”http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/30/mazda-shinari-concept-debuts-new-face-of-the-brand-in-style/” Autoblog was invited out to Milan/A to see Mazda’s new Shinari concept car, rather than having to wait to see it at an auto show.

pMy initial impressions of the car were of confusion. I’m used to seeing clean, well-integrated designs from Mazda, whether it’s their 3 series, the venerable Miata or even their racier RX-8, but this one recalls some of Hyundai’s early styling missteps in muscle car territory, i.e. the Tiburon. I realize that most cars these days are designed by committee, but I’ve always felt the best designs have one powerfully talented designer overseeing the process and instilling a design consistency, but this one just seems all over the map./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/mazdas_new_designed-by-committee_concept_car_leaves_me_confused_17275.asp”(more…)/a
