    Thumbs up 2018 Mazda3 Concept...... believe it

    Just came across an article that coincides with the LA Auto Show which commenced today and will end on the 24th of this month.

    The article shows the pro activity that Mazda is known for. Instead of waiting around and seeing how the next generation Mazda3 does, and for all intents and purposes it should do extremely well they have found an individual who will put their efforts into creating a fresh and reknown design concept.

    Mazda held a contest to see who would come up with a concept that would wow and hint at future trends for the vehicle. They Indeed found someone with the skills necassary.

    I for one find this design a little far fetched but with that being said in 2018 which is 11 years from now the design we see know may be a glimpse into more streamlined design cues.

    Well heres the link: http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/07la/071113-1.htm

    Enjoy!

    I fail to see what might imply that's a Mazda3. I could see it if they labeled it a 2018 RX7 or something, but the 3 is a practical compact, not a sports car.

    it looks a lot like the Mazda Nagare concept that's been around for quite a while and is supposed to be the RX7 replacement...

    i really don't see any relation to the mazda3

    Yeah to be honest I dont see the relevance to the current or next generation mazda3. With that being said I dont think this design is supposed to show any correlation to the current or upcoming model. After further review I think this design concept resembles that of the Sassou. Who knows what the 2018 Mazda3 will look like I just thought it was cool to see something like this.

    I like the design, its more sleek but I would like it more if the sketch was in blue. 2018 is too far ahead and I don't believe the car will look like that but who knows. I'm just thinking 11 years ago, what we drove and and how different cars are in 1996 to now.

    I believe 2018 is too far ahead too to even think of what the market will demand.
