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.
