There's always something there, but that specific display is not across the lineup.

Yes, the lower ones guide air to the brakes, the top one is a visual element to break up the grille insert.

I don't think we debated it, that is our prominent drivetrain and chassis tech, this is our halo product, we wanted to bringthose two together.

We've pulled the hood and the lights quite low too. There is a specific technology that helps with pedestrian impact. We used a number of tricks to make it look lower.

We're all car design enthusiasts, we're influenced by a lot of different cars. We're big Italian car fans, that's some influence. We're well versed in the classic in terms of compact roadsters, we're always studying that. We can't point to any specific car, we wanted a car that was distinctly Mazda and distinctly
