Mazda Kiyora Concept @ 2008 Paris Auto Show

Posted by Dan on Apr 30, 2011 in Cool Cars |


FOR MORE FROM THE PARIS AUTO SHOW: www.insideline.com PARIS — Mazda will unveil a “next-generation urban compact” concept called the Kiyora at the 2008 Paris Auto Show on October 2. The city-car concept is believed to be the first look at a future Mazda 1 minicar. True to poetic form, Mazda is crediting “water” and “harmony” as the inspirations for the design. Mazda’s face-lifted MX-5 will also make its global debut here. Other Mazdas making world debuts at Paris will be the Mazda 6 with a new 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine and the Mazda 2 with a 1.6-liter turbodiesel. The Mazda Kiyora concept is notable for its light weight. The car is based on an all-new platform designed for maximum weight reduction, coupled with safety. It is fitted with the next-generation Mazda four-cylinder direct-injection engine and Smart Idle Stop System for fuel economy and lowered emissions, Mazda said. The name “Kiyora” means “clean and pure” in Japanese and is another in Mazda’s long-term design vision, the company said in a statement. It is positioned as a “city car cutting cleanly through an urban landscape.”

@maikeru01 – I dont think anyone wud even give u a plastic toy car for free with that kind of attitude dude, let alone a concept car…no one is that insane u stupid MORON!!! What do U know about car design?? R u an industrial design expert??? From the way u sound, ur Inadequate logic & menial opinions are even an insult to a common 10-year old kid nowadays. When u graduate from design school u can come back here & talk, ok dickhead?!!

Mazda are the ugliest cars. They are WAY too busy, and just have too much wavy…seaweed shaped lines. I have no idea what they are thinking. First of all, the doors are ripped right off of that Alfa Romeo Pandion, the difference being that that is a good looking car. But this thing, between the color and the shape looks exactly like the tooth paste on my tooth brush. I wouldn’t drive that thing if you gave it to me for free.

I dont understand why they never put these concepts in to manufacture and release them on the market, whats the point in showing them off at these car shows and then never produce them????

@euphoritch
yeah, the GT looks spectacular! but I do like the flowing lines that some of the mazda concepts have. The Citroen GT kind of reminds me of a BMW M1 concept that was revealed in 2008. its still an awesome desingn.

I’ve always believed that Mazda really wanted to be a pokemon factory, not a car company. Why else would they always keep putting strange little faces on their vehicles? I choose YOU…Miata-chu!
