Franz Von Holhausen left Mazda
Hopefully I spelled that right. He's the guy that led the design team for Kabura as well as the Furai. I'm not sure where he went to or why he left. I just know he did this week.

I hope he just hopped over to Ford. Kind of a mercy-trade thing. Maybe then, their cars will start looking as good as (or better than!) their European counterparts.

oh, that sucks to hear. I really liked the design and where things were going.
It's true what they say though' everyone has a price.

i think this could be bad for mazda and their whole design concept. at least the next set of cars that come out will have that influence but after that i am not sure.

meh he did one car that looked good. Big deal. What this has to do with other cars beats the hell out of me. Should have been posted in the OT section.

Could be worse, we can have an guy from India sending design specs to a bunch of surfer dudes at California and have a car cobbered together in Japan using parts from a Minivan, family sedan and SUVs. (hint: what car has 3 numerals and end with a Z?)
