    Mazda Shinari Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery

    When Mazda invited us to Milan to see its new concept car, we knew it must be something important. Normally concept cars get their 15 minutes of fame at an auto show, and then it's off to the next press conference to see what the following automaker will introduce. Not so with Mazda's latest styling endeavor. The Japanese automaker wanted our full and undivided attention, with the center of international design and fashion in Italy as a fitting backdrop.

    The Shinari concept, which roughly translates to "resistance to being bent," will serve as a the basis for Mazda's new design language, and many of the styling cues will make it to future production vehicles. That means that the Shinari will essentially affect the design of every vehicle coming from the Japanese automaker for the next several years. An important car for Mazda? You bet.

    The Shinari was officially unveiled earlier today, and we spent several hours talking with Mazda's artists about the design and how it will affect the automaker's forthcoming vehicles. Follow the jump to learn more about the Shinari and what it means for the brand's future.

    The drivers section of the cabin is very Ferrari 458-ish

    That is by far and away the best looking sedan I've seen since ... ever.
    Don't like the instrument panel, but the exterior is ...beautiful.

    What a beautiful concept. The detail is amazing. I love the close ups. Not sure about the grooves on the brake disks? More for show?

    This car is my desktop now (replaced the SEMA show white MPS)

    Thanks!!
