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.

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?)
