When Mazda invited us to Milan to see its new concept car, we knew it must be something important. Normally concept cars get their 15 minutes of fame at an auto show, and then it's off to the next press conference to see what the following automaker will introduce. Not so with Mazda's latest styling endeavor. The Japanese automaker wanted our full and undivided attention, with the center of international design and fashion in Italy as a fitting backdrop.

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.

The Shinari was officially unveiled earlier today, and we spent several hours talking with Mazda's artists about the design and how it will affect the automaker's forthcoming vehicles.

that however is pretty cool lookin

I see revisions in your future, hood angle is way too sharp, pedestrian safety hazard

I am in love with the sharp angles tho, it reminds me of a catfish somehow.

I'd surely drive one

Now, it looks like mini Austin Martin... in good way

ya thats pretty sick lookin

would def want a manual shifter in that car, in the pics it looks like one of those knob selectors or somethin, well i guess i see paddle shifters now but still would want a stick
