Ok, i'm really looking into buying a s2000 but I think it looks way to close to the new mazda miata. I havent seen the s2000 in real life yet but through pics it looks like it. What do you guys think?

IMO, I do not think Miata and S2000 looks alike at all...

I agree - a friend of mine has a current model MX-5/Miata (also silver) and we were both parked next to each other the other day. The cars are ALOT different IMO. The S2000 seems a lot bigger when you put them next to each other too.

A heavily muscled miata with a nasty attitude if you push it to the edge!

If you wanna compare the two the Miata looks like a ballon animal snake..sorta, while the S2000 a real snake. Those eyes...those dangerous eyes!!!

You will see a major difference when you see an S in real life. Believe me.

Ditto to all above.

Automobile magazine did an article and they said that pictures do not do the S2000 justice. IMO the part that really has to be seen to be believed is the sculpture of the nose (big, bad, and 3D). Also the Mita handles well but the quality of materials is not in the same league as the S2000. Just look at the seats!
