Default 2009 / 2010 MX-5

I was out on my bike this morning and coming against me was what I thought was an S2000 until it was nearly level with me, and then I saw it was an MX-5.

I've never taken much notice of the newer revisions but it seems the latest ones are really starting to look like the S.

Am I going mad ??

Yes. Looks much better than an S2000 (except the 4x4 suspension of course).

Is the bumper and the wings the same piece of plastic/metal ?
I can't see a join.

I love the look of the S2000, one of the reasons why I had 2 of them, and yes IMO the new MX5 is similar to the S2000 but more modern and better looking.

Nice little roadster
