Mazda has take the media by surprised with the unveiling of a new four-door coupe concept at a private press event held in Milan today.


Named Shinari, the concept reveals the new front end design as well as the overall design language for all future Mazda vehicles.


In similar fashion to the previous Nagare styling theme, Mazda has coined the term "Kodo" for the new styling paradigm. In Japanese it means soul of motion.


When asked when the new design language would start to appear on new models, Ikuo Maeda, general manager of Mazda Motor Corp.'s design division, vaguely stated, "this design will lead to the next generation of Mazda design and will lead to other elements."
