Mazda Sassou
In Japanese, Sassou means "a positive state of mind." It means looking towards the future with uninhibited optimism. Our unmatched reputation for this kind of forward thinking comes to life with its new concept car, the Sassou. A compact, featherweight, 3-door hatchback, the Sassou is a remarkable integration of environmental consciousness and peerless design. Following the principles of Japanese Shoji design, the Sassou is at once a refined glimpse of the future and modernized classic. With the unique Mazda Alive lighting system, hidden features spring to life from within the car’s translucent body. And the Sassou’s impressive turbocharged, direct gas injection 3-cylinder engine and twin-clutch 6-speed powershift transmission are as eco-friendly as they are fun. With so many extraordinary innovations, the Mazda Sassou is a thoughtful outlook for a not-too-distant future.
Personally, I think the interior is a bit fugly but the outside is not too terribly bad for a little compact car. The dead front view isn't too bad.
