Global Auto Index
Mazda has issued the following press release:
Mazda Motor Corporation will present an all-new concept car, the Mazda Nagare for the first time globally at the Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show during its press conference at 16:05 "4:05pm" local time on 29 November 2006.
Following on the heels of three very successful and exploratory Mazda design concepts ā Sassou, Senku, and Kabura ā from last yearās show season, Nagare is the first indication of Mazdaās future design direction.
According to Laurens van den Acker, newly-appointed General Manager of Mazdaās Design Division, Nagare sums up the future of Mazda design in one deceptively simple word: Flow.
āNagare is a celebration of proportions and surface language that will evolve into subsequent designs planned for presentation at future international auto shows. Nagare examines light and shadow, and begins to reveal the global design cues for the next generation of Mazda vehicles.ā
Franz Von Holzhausen, Director of Design for Mazda North American Operations, who headed the Nagare design team in Irvine, California describes the concept as an evolving expression of Zoom-Zoom:
āInspired by the movement of natureās elements, our designers have captured motion, energy and lightness, translating into a beautiful language of lines and forms that are powerful yet effortless, provocative yet strikingly seductive.ā
And thereās much more to come, too, as Mazda continues to evolve Flow through future models. For now, Mazda enthusiasts can experience Nagare as an indication of Mazda Designās confident step in a new direction.
Other vehicles on display in Los Angeles will include the Mazda CX-7 crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-9 three-row, seven-passenger SUV, which arrives in North American Mazda dealerships in early 2007, and the brilliantlyādesigned Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe with power retractable hardtop.
