With the departure of Mazda’s design chief Laurens van den Acker comes the end of Mazda’s Nagare design language. Mazda’s new designer Ikuo Maeda is bringing a new design theme to the brand named “Kodo”. Kodo, which is Japanese for soul of motion will debut on the Shinari concept at the upcoming Paris Motor Show.
The four-door Shinari concept shows off the new styling direction for Mazda, which is ditching the smiley face look of the current Mazda lineup.
