I think it's ok. I like the first gen miatas, but have hated all since then. This one has a better overall shape then the most recent ones, but is sort of bland. Can't put my finger on why I think it's bland.

It's the headlights and front maw. They look waaaaay too saturnish squared off and completely not flowing with the car. Nose is too blunt and the car looks too tall because it's so short in length.

I think the fender flares are a bit much, the shortness of the car does not help either.

I like it, I wouldn't buy one, but I think it's the nicest Miata yet, def the least feminine looking.

I aggree about the front... yuck. The first gen looks like a pill and the second gen is slightly better. This one is goofy up front.

I think they're trying to make you think 'RX-8' more when you see the car with the fender flares. At least that's the first thing I think of with those.
