Default Mazda Nagare Concept

Nagare meant to depict what styling will be like in 2020...

FYI - the press release says it's pronounced "(“na-ga-reh”) Japanese for ‘flow’ and the embodiment of motion..."

Man that's a weird colour and design. Looks like a cochroach.

It's way out there, but I like it - dramatic and very dynamic looking. The only bit I'm not sure about is the nose.

If I spray it with RAID will it flip on its roof and wave its wheels in the air until it dies?

Terrible. How much time and money did they waste on that when they could have made something cool?

I cannot imagine it's anywhere near meeting pedestrian safety regulations and stuff, so be prepared to see something different on 2020s motorshows by Mazda. The wheels of this one are interesting though, somehow I get the idea that they're not air filled but running on solid rubber.

This is for sure what cars will look like in 2020. I mean, we're all driving around cars right now that look exactly like futuristic concept cars from 1992, are we not?

the ribbed body pannels would never go into production the way they are, just a painters nightmare, as well as the cost of the dye machine to have pointless waves like that in it. the rear stance is sexy on that, the rest of it doesn't work though as someone said with the pedestrian safety. neat, but not possible.

oh... it would get pulled over pretty quick, it has red lights on the front.
