is there a curb weight yet? they keep making the damn thing heavier.

 

[golem]

mazda needs to slap a rotary in there already.

 

[Pochacco]

Mazda rocks - very underrated.

 

[Gek54]

Wonder if I can actually fit in this one.

 

[nitewulf]

pretty car, but i always felt miatas were too small. mazda needs to keep making RX-7s.

 

[Gek54]

Why?

 

[DarienA]

Solstice is aimed directly at this thing.... (and smacks the shit out of it in terms of looks) any murmurings about price yet?

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Well that styling is a step backwards

 

[PS2 KID]

I prefer the sportier styling of the Saturn Sky.

 

[Funky Papa]

It is funny how it does look girly and uninspired at the same time. You could paint it white, slap a hugue Hello Kitty vinyl and it wouldn't look off :lol

The sky is way sexier IMHO.

 

[Doth Togo]

This is what the Z4 should've looked like.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Looks like a Z4 sans the rear IMO. I like the cosmetic touches, but the 17" wheels are worthless. The Miata looks like such a chick car, but it's a great performing car. So long as they reduce weight and not increase it, and keep the same performance package as the current. Fuck the rotary, they just need to keep the supercharger, 6spd stick and helical LSD in there and this car will rock. Again, though, it looks like such a chick car. I hate the fact that the Miatas own my Spyder in autox. PEACE.

 

[Days like these...]

cute.

 

[Tuvoc]

I like it. It's a little longer than the current miatas but it still has 50/50 weight distribution. I'm curious to see what it weighs.

 

[KilledByBill]

Not bad, although for an entry level roadster I'd prefer the Sky/Solstice(whose style is really starting to grow on me) to the Miata. Have there been any rumblings about GM coming out with a 4WD versions of those cars as opposed to just RWD?

I'd love a cheaper alternative to Audi's TT Quatro....

 

[Doth Togo]

A cheap RWD that's capable of handling mods will be a HUGE success.

 

[nitewulf]

Why?

cause it kicks ass!
