Jesus christ people. It’s a fucking concept car. It doesn’t have to be practical.

I guess you’ve totally missed recent announcement of the Toyota/Mazda/Denso partnership to jointly develop EVs. Furthermore, EVs make up less than 1% of cars worldwide. A full EV future is a long ways away. Dig a little deeper and ignore the EV hype. EVs are not ready for prime time. The infrastructure isn’t ready.…

Fret not. Rejoice. The Kai concept has similar interior treatment and previews the upcoming ‘19 Mazda3.

It’s not meant to be produced. Mazda was very clear that they’d be showing a production concept and one non-production concept. Think of the Shinari concept car and how it launched KODO design and foreshadowed the brand’s full portfolio to date. This concept serves the same function for generation 2 products.

SMH. Most of the comments so far are hilariously stupid. It’s almost like readers from another site suddenly invaded Jalopnik. Patrick, is the site being hacked by the Russian cyber army?

As if that mattered. It’s the gap between the hood and the grill extension.

Real world driving isn’t race track driving. False premise.

Purpose: different for sake of being different. Count on production 2019 Mazda3 to have conventional moonroof.

Not just back up cameras. Obstacle detection, automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, etc. When properly equipped, physical blind spots become less of an issue. It’s a matter of advances in technology allowing possibilities in design for aesthetics and aero efficiency.

Wrong. Look up Mazda Takeri concept. Then look at current production Mazda6. With regards to paint, wrong again. Search online for Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal Metallic.

Maybe she’s just relishing a headache.

Engineered, for the farmer’s market.

Camry driver... I want to say “go figure”, but then realized maybe this person is trying to kill a Camry for the betterment of mankind. Zero or hero?

So you’re suggesting your sample of 3 cars represents the entire global auto industry?

Let’s see... it’s almost 2018. You’ve named a ‘97, ‘01 and ‘03. What’s your point again?

In case you didn’t know: cars have had self-sealing tanks for decades.

Yup. Boondoggle.

Spoken like a true tiny penis expert.

An excuse to go to Vegas, party and pay the strippers.

Hnnng!
