I've always liked the Miata. Had it not been for the S I very well might have bought one. The Mazdaspeed Miata sounds like a lot of car for the money.

I found the New York Times article interesting, but I'm not sure that the author really understands these two cars.

Any other paper link, you can read it but with the Times they want you to identify your first born. I'll pass.

I test-drove the MS Miata and it was a more "fun" car to drive than the S2000, but that is where it ended. The MSM is a more forgiving car, but when driving on the edge the S2k is far superior. I also feel a lot more cramped in the Miata.
