The industry is entering a pivotal design era, says Ford’s Pat Schiavone. “There are going to be a lot of mistakes. There are going to be a lot of masterpieces.”"
and the blurb under the headline at google news says

Mazda Motor Corp. shrunk by 20% the grille on the '10 Mazda3 to better frame its intakes with a fascia that also houses stylized parking lights. ...

Mazda 'shrunk" the grille Charlie?????

Sour grapes from Ford...the 2010 Mazda 3 is doing very well in most countries, record sales here in Australia for the new model, record sales in Japan, including a rise in RX-8 units by about 6% for memory in Oz.

That will all change now gas has "Skyrocketed" here again over the last few days...$149.9 AUD a litre for premium, thats over $6 a gallon AUD!!!!

I'm confused, is the article implying Mazda shrunk the grill in the final current design or that they are revising the grille with next years model?
