Default mazda does deal with Honda

Has the MX-5 (a good car) finally upp'ed its style stakes a little...



by fitting S2000 MY04 style alloys (the best in my opinion) S2000 light cluster?

The air intake and mirrors that are not too dissimilar either. Either way its certainly a lot more 'S2000' influenced now IMHO - long way to go mind . Sorry if this had been noted before..

Still no where as near hardcore and track inflenced as an S2000. My sister has one and it is very fun to drive, but very softy, softy with loads more body roll If you know what I mean.

Looks like a Focus that drove under the back of an artic.

At least two parts of the car are improved though.

Just noticed the styling of the fog lights are straight off an RX7 99 spec, at least their sticking to their roots.

Looks like it doesn't know what it wants to be IMO, looks somewhat strange to me?! From the side on view the wheels look far too small and the car looks too high.

May look better in the flesh I guess.

The front clip is a little more S2000-ish, especially from 3/4 angle.

The good thing is it looks less like an obese pikachu.

The bad thing is, it exaggerates the front overhang, which no roadster should have.

I loved the original MX-5; why did that f
