That is some good talk by Mazda, I wonder if they can stick to the plan.
A maximum weight of 1000 kg sounds excellent.

I'm glad to see they've stuck with their basic design philosphies:

1) Hideosly ugly front-end.

2) Overly busy design details that look like they were collected
from random people in the lunchroom.

3) Huge ugly wheels.

WTH is a "design language"?

Think Mazda will be surprised when they don't sell ANY due to the clown
mouth?

Thank the gods I have an NA.

By the available evidence, I deduce it's what's left when you've run out
of good ideas.

Will there be room for clown shoes in the footwells?

Ouch. That was a painful read.

Here's a good description of what a "design language" is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_language

I guess in means that Mazda is committed too beating all their models
with the same ugly stick.

It seems to have enough "character lines" to remove any hint of character.
Did all of the designers of the original die or were then simply given the
boot?
