n the reply:
Thanks for contacting Mazda.

I am pleased you took the time to bring your suggestion regarding
future models and concept cars to our attention. Consumer feedback is
always very important to Mazda. Certainly, we want to offer exciting
vehicles, and comments such as yours help us to achieve that goal.

Rest assured I have documented your suggestion for our corporate
record. These records are continuously being reviewed by our Product
Planning Department in an effort to provide only the highest quality
products to our customers.

Again, thank you for contacting Mazda.

I think if the first picture kept a style of headlights similar to the original mx-3 headlights it would look a lot better.

I think the original mx-3 headlights are some of the nicest looking headlights, other than the poor lighting.

s1zzl3, What you recieved from the corporate office was the canned (pre-written) response that is given to most requests/suggestions/inputs as a matter of due course (meaning almost all of the time). That is to say that they've looked at it and are reserving any sort of decision one way or the other. You're not the only one that has or will send their aspiring designs to large corporations and the corporations will accumulate these for reference purposes if they warrant such. It wasn't a slap in the face but rather a pre-programmed response to similar messages. Will they give it serious consideration - who knows. Consider it a positive response since in fact they took the time to actually respond in the first place. Corporations have the luxury of not being obligated to respond to all inputs or suggestions. I'm not sure of the content of the message you sent and sometimes the delivery in itself can make a better impression or achieve better results. If you've got a few more designs, I'll gladly re-submit your "portfolio" to the address you previously used using a few choice tactics I've acquired over the years. You can email me through here or at jschrauwen@sympatico.ca . Just an idea I had, FWIW. Keep on sketching .....

hey i got an idea. Try and make mutiple angles of the mx-3 you created, and print them off. Get about...1/2 pictures from idfferent angles. Sketch out abit of an iterior, add soome dimentions on everything. Take those pictures, and bring them in person to the mazda dealership and see what they think.

Don't bring pics ot the Mazda dealer... I don't think it would help any sinc the dealer's only interaction with Mazda is to place orders for parts and cars.
You might convince them to place the pic in the show room somewhere to get feed back. Maybe even place a comment card and box underneath. That would help you get more notice from Mazda. The more stink you can make with your idea the more Mazda will be willing to talk to you.

can you post the pic of that car before you colored it and everything else, or even the original cars you used. I'd like to touch it up and see if I can make it look better or a little diff. Fantastic concept

Man jarago that would be sweet. We shoudl get all the really good photoshoppers around here to touch it up and create some differnet angles. Also maybe, are they're any car designers around this board? does anyboyd know about any car desingers they can contact? if we get a second oppinion about it, may some suggestions, and aply them, it could be even better. They also might have the hookups to get this thing started.
