If you see this sexy Japanese car in a car show or on the road, the Mazda Shinari Concept car is simply beautiful and modern, both inside and out.

This new concept car, the ‘Mazda Shinari‘ has been making it’s debut at car shows around the world including Paris, Las Vegas, and Toronto. Shinari use the new front design concept and overall design language for all future Mazda vehicles,  similar to the previous Nagare styling theme. Mazda has also created the term “Kodo” meaning spirit of motion, a new paradigm. The exterior of the car has caught the great leaders with its “in motion” design, however the interior has to compete against some real greats so may need a little time to totally go for gold.  The Japanese word shinari describes the powerful yet supple appearance of great resilient force when objects of high tensile strength, such as steel or bamboo, are twisted or bent. It also refers to the appearance of a person or animal as it flexes its muscles in preparation for a fast movement, and it is these images that form the basis for the name of this concept car.

With a feeling of freedom and strength flowing across every panel and part, the Mazda Shinari looks ready to leap forwards like a great animal.

Its form and expression attract both the gentleman car lover and also the new money of the younger generation. Sleek and powerful, with enough class to say, I belong at the front. So if you are shopping for a new or used car, you might consider this beauty.

Crowds surrounded the Shinari at the Toronto International Car Show. It was one of the favorite displays. Not bad considering the competition. Is is good to see some manufacturers are still making real performance cars. The three-dimensional sculpting of the front grille, the Shinari design proudly emphasises the Mazda lineage.  An aluminium floating bar linking the grille with the headlights enhances the three-dimensional expression of speed. In the interior, Mazda Design has created the ‘ultimate athletic cockpit’ focused on linking ergonomics with basic mechanical functions. It has designed the optimum space for the driver’s seat, to enable the driver to focus on driving.  I believe this car offers everything a person needs : Business, Night-time Cruising and Sport!
