Rarely do automakers disclose redundant design proposals for a vehicle that has just been introduced to the public like the all-new 2010 Mazda3 Sedan.

But it appears that Mazda's people are so confident with the outcome that the Japanese company decided to publish a selection of rejected sketches for its new compact sedan that premiered less than a week ago at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show

The first one on the bottom looks MUCH better than what they signed off on.

One of the best looking compact sedans on the market. It will take a little getting use to the new "face" but a great design. Mazda is on a roll and makes the designs on Honda and Toyota seem so last decade.

Mazda should make there cars safe first! They are functional little wagons now and these future cars are a totally new breed with little functionality in comparison. Safety and economy should be first then try to make it prettier without compromising functionality .

If you want safety, then don`t drive like a maniac.
Mazda`s are just as safe as any other car.

What I am saying is that the current Mazda-3 is a great package, sporty and functional, just that it could improve it's rear passenger safety, that is why I never bought one. If you have to drive a small car wouldn't you want something safe for all your passengers?Children...It could be the difference of going to the hospital or the graveyard! That is why I went with the Civic, although I like the design of the Mazda -3 better, but this new design may appeal to some, although it wouldn't appeal to people that want to throw a dog in the back or value cargo hauling. Most current Mazda -3 owners would not buy this car because it lacks utility, although people that like sports cars may buy it.

The problem is usually referred to as "men in suits"
