Mazda Shinari - By Design - Automobile Magazine
Reversion to reserve.

Mazda, recently liberated from Ford Motor Company control but continuing to collaborate with the American giant, recently organized a global forum in Berlin to show its technology intentions and then another in Milan for design. We eagerly anticipated both events, because Mazda has always embraced a slightly skewed approach to the automobile industry. Mazda gave us an excellent cheap sports car twenty years ago, when everyone else had given up on the idea, and the company stayed with it, making each succeeding MX-5 Miata roadster a better product. Mazda also refused to abandon Felix Wankel's trochoidal engine, maintaining rotaries in production for decades, thereby pleasing those who prize unorthodox but valid engineering solutions.
