Mazda will debut their Kiyora concept at the upcoming Paris Auto Show. The styling follows the flowing (think folded drapery) theme found on all recent Mazda concepts. Other than having a "next-generation" direct injection 4-cylinder engine, not much is known about what's under the skin.

Their latest concepts have been over-designed. In many cases I think their designs peaked one generation ago.
I wonder if this "next-generation" DI motor is naturally aspirated or if it's turbo like the current DISI.
And speaking of the current DISI, it's been out 3 years now. I've always wondered why they didn't remove the turbo and make just a NA DI motor. That'd give the Miata and the Mazda5 a much needed HP bump (I'm guessing the turbo hardware wouldn't fit in those two).
This car is awesome. I'll buy one.
Mazda's best incarnation of this wind language has to be the Furai. That thing was sweet!
